Retired physical therapist. Still advocating for excellent healthcare. I believe in science and protecting my family and our communities from those who don’t.
I recently had an experience with a family member that involved all of these people. My family member would not be here today without them. I am forever grateful. We will all regret not supporting them so we need to use our voices and our grit.

The deck is stacked. Medical misinformation causes harm (including death) while also distracting us from finding the truth and focusing on research that will actually address the problem. It is a tsunami of lies with no end in sight.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence

National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.

This won’t go well—we love our parks.
