Our @jama.com study leveraged a natural experiment to show that cutting SNAP benefits leads to ⬆️ food insecurity AND worse physical health.

The One Big Beautiful Bill’s deep cuts to SNAP are especially alarming.

This week marks the 2nd anniversary of the BILH Heart Transplant Program—2 yrs of teamwork & life-saving care. One moment we’ll never forget? This spring, a patient married in the ICU before receiving a new heart. It was a moment that reminded us of what we’re working for. ❤️
