Texas GA-46 threatens confidentiality and trust between clinicians and immigrants. We must advocate to protect privacy and ensure hospitals remain safe spaces.

📢 Clinicians must continue to advocate against policies like GA-46 that risk moral injury & conflict with our ethical responsibility to do no harm. Together we can uphold dignity in healthcare.
