When you see what #DiagnoseAndTreats donated for their own team AND then to other teams, you realize the depth of their generosity. You are AMAZING!!

Just a little teary (aided by the ⬇️ sleep from the last days) reading the final #HCWvsHunger posts of 2024

I didn't know #BlueSky existed 19 days ago when the amazing #KidVengers ⭐ leads invited me to join and here we are #MedSky seeing and being the light!

#KidVengers forever
And if you’re struggling to see the good on social media, or maybe even in the 🌎 in general sometimes, we leave you with these words:

You are most definitely the light. 👇

This was an amazing way to raise awareness about food insecurity while also providing meals to many in need. Well done to all who led this effort and participated!

The real winners are, of course, the kids. They inspire us every day to be better advocates and to keep pushing for equitable change.

Pediatricians are just complete badasses

We make the least amount of money, our patients can’t vote, anti-vax movements are exploding, and we respond by raising money to feed those in need

It doesn’t need to be a contest. We are *always* 1st place

To be honest, I wasn’t sure we should do #HCWvsHunger this year.

Changing platforms, post election grief, maybe it had run its course?

Then y’all showed up.

And we raised more than ever before.

It’s hard to see good these days but we can be the good.

Thank you for being that for me 💜

One of the MANY best parts of being a #pediatrician is wonderful colleagues.

Thx to our relentlessly fun #KidVenger captains who kept it focused & spicy. There's no downside to raising money to fight hunger w/the #HCWvsHunger social challenge but camaraderie is a major upside.

See you in 358?
