The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

"No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," AOC said. “There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal mash to the federal government."

I’m following @aoc.bsky.social ‘s call to action and you should too. Call your senator. Even if they are a Democrat. Call them and tell them not to confirm any more of Trump’s picks until Elon stops stripping our government. Don’t get overwhelmed. We need to stay engaged.

My heart hurts for all the patients on federally funded clinical trials who don’t know if they will be able to access treatment. This is cruel.

If you’re Indigenous and interested in a career in healthcare you should consider pharmacy. We have an early assurance program, in-state tuition if you are enrolled in a federally recognized tribe and you’ll also get to hear me tell bad jokes during lectures! www.nnacoe.org/nnacoe-pharm...
