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.
