Some good news today: HHS.gov has removed the waiver requirement for prescribing buprenorphine. This is a win for patients, for prescribers and for the entire United States after years of continuously breaking records for - entirely preventable - opioid overdose deaths.

Came across this gem from ABIM Foundation today. All patients should be empowered to ask these questions. I hope I can train to answer them. #ChoosingWisely

It was great to meet with @DukeMedicine residents to discuss local health and climate priorities. I'm proud to be your partner in Washington as we continue to prioritize urgently needed climate conservation, green energy, and health-related legislation in Congress.
