On the ACCMA van (driven by our Exec Director Joe Greaves, who deserves hazard pay) to California Medical Association Legislative Advocacy Day in Sac to fix #priorauth #ab510 #ab539 #ab512 #sb306

Thank you State Senator Jesse Arreguín for hearing us out on the need for prior auth reform, the creation of a physician health program, and honoring AB 35 liability reforms. We look forward to working with you! #CMAdocs

Strong statement from our county medical association to take leadership during uncertain times. Hopefully this will get other physician groups off the sidelines about the spectrum of health policy issues that exist outside of the Medicare space. bit.ly/44mJ3aQ

Investing in health research has led to breakthroughs like vaccines, cancer therapies, and life-saving surgical techniques. Funding for health care research builds on this legacy and secures a healthier future for all. #NIH #FundNIH #ResearchMatters science.org/content/articl…

ACCMA strongly supports vaccine access and education. Vaccines prevent disease, hospitalizations, and death. We must counter misinformation and expand access for all. #ACCMA #ProtectPatients #HealthEquity #EvidenceBasedCare #PublicHealth

Very fortunate to practice in the PermanenteDoctors multi-specialty integrated model; every stomach/esophagus cancer in KPNorthernCal is centrally discussed & navigated, expediting the highest quality care. Also a plug for life-saving #federallyfundedresearch #saveNIH ANCO

For individuals with cancer, diseases in which timely diagnosis can be essential for survival, Medicaid coverage is often the key to accessing necessary tests + biopsies that are rarely covered in an ER under EMTALA. Urge Congress to #SaveMedicaid #ProtectMedicaid ANCO

EUROPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!!!

Friday clinic done and dusted; headed to SFO->ORD for #ASCO25 with advice from my patients to "go learn something useful." And maybe watch ANCO collect a State Affiliate award?

Final details of the President's proposed budget could stunt U.S. cancer research, risking future advances. ASCO is fighting for robust federal cancer research funding. Contact lawmakers: brnw.ch/21wT3up #ASCOAdvocacy

Glad to hear Robin Zon, MD, FACP, FASCO plug for #ASCOCertified patient-centered/oncology medical home program, which maximizes practice quality of care. Next step for ASCO is to convince payers and regulators that certification is worth boosted reimbursement. #ASCO25

Glad to see that ASCO agentic #AI didn't hallucinate an answer to this near-daily clinical question! #ASCO25

Very timely Health Policy Communities of Practice meeting driven by Jasmine Kamboj, MD, FASCO - covered oncology issues such as practice impacts of the IRA and broader health delivery issues such as cuts to J1 visas and to research funding. Oncologists must engage beyond ASCO #ASCO25

Celebrity moments, complete with an autograph for the fans at home, with Robin Zon, MD, FACP, FASCO Dr. Zon - with the ASCO delegation to the AMA #ASCO25

"Sometimes it's hard for doctors to pay doctors" - but it's increasingly important for physician groups to give credit for external advocacy as they might for giving Grand Rounds, teaching housestaff. Wonder if anyone here knows what our ASCO #RUC advisor does for them? #ASCO25

Science matters; Translation; Impact. As the government steps back in global care, ASCO must step up to fill the void. UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr GU oncologist and ANCO member Eric Small inaugurated as ASCO president. #ASCO25

Thanks to Yelena Y. Janjigian MD and Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO , I can't imagine "Long Live" by Taylor Swift as anything other than a cancer community anthem - together, we fight dragons to to make time for memories. #ASCO25
