The Trump Administration is once again overreaching by interfering with congestion pricing. I applaud the Governorā€™s committment to keeping the tolling cameraā€™s on, and I look forward to seeing this decision fought in the courts. See my full statement below.

Join the Telehealth & Technology Forum, Rural SIG, and Early Career SIG for a fun and informal mixer tonight at 8:30 PM at Stout Street Social! Connect with colleagues, expand your network, and unwind over great conversationā€”see you there! #hapc25

POLL: Is the field of palliative care overly focused on verbal/linguistic modes of communication? (reply yes/no!) #hapc25

ā€œAdvocacy is a marathon, not a sprint,ā€ šŸ‘ and there are opportunities for progress during both blue and red administrations. Thank you Drs. Sonia Malhotra, Phil Rodgers, and Christine Khandelwal for your vision, persistence, and strategy! #hapc25

Join our @weillcornell.bsky.social presenters this afternoon at #hapc25! @pallipsych.bsky.social @kwokytalky.bsky.social

Starting now! Addressing Spiritual Needs in Outpatient Palliative Care: Lessons Learned #hapc25

Some poster highlights! Amazing new ideas being presented at #hapc25

Krista Tippett makes an important point about humility. Humility is not about making yourself small but seeing everyone/everything else as big, interesting and potentially amazing. Ties it to curiousity. Humility, curiosity and generous listening are important in #PalliativeCare. #hapc25

Hospitality and curiosity strike me as very underrated palliative care superpowers! #hapc25

Beautifully said, ā€œOur politics and dramas are thinnest of verniers to cover the real problem of ourselves.ā€ it is the problem of the human condition. Krista Tippet #hapc25

Hello #hapc25 šŸ‘‹ If you are new to Bluesky, I made a tip sheet to get familiar with this new platform. There is actually a growing #hospice and #PalliativeCare group of people here.

Weā€™re in Denver for #hapc25! Our fellows and faculty will be presenting at tonightā€™s opening reception - come say hello!

Starting off #hapc25 with Artificial Intelligence in #hpm Programs! Completely agree that itā€™s critical for #hapc clinicians to step up to define the directions of this field.

Students, residents, fellows, and early career folksā€¦ today is the day! Come start the conference off right at Peaks Rooftop Lounge on the 27th floor of the Hyatt Regency at 7p (after the opening reception) and grab a bite, beverage, and hang out! #hapc25

Quick #TechTip for @aahpm.bsky.social #hapc25. Many sessions (including pre-con) have slides available to attendees but its hidden in #EventScribe app. Following the pics below you can find slides and save PDF. @ericgoodlev.bsky.social @topgundersen.bsky.social @ewidera.bsky.socialā€¬

As a palliative care physician who runs a house call program, Iā€™m thankful for #congestionpricing! Weā€™ve been able to visit more families experiencing serious illnesses thanks to improved transit times (not to mention the lives saved by faster emergency responses) #hapc

Can't wait for the AAHPM annual assembly (@aahpm.bsky.social) this week. I get to give my first presentation. Hopefully it goes well. Wish me luck @earlycareersig.bsky.social . #medsky #palliative #hapc25

One of the best events at @aahpm.bsky.social #hapc25. Looking forward to it. #pallonc #supponc

Looking forward to #hapc25 with @aahpm.bsky.social and @hpna-info.bsky.social Hoping we can get some Bluesky traction for some live posts from the conference next week. Roll call! Who is going to Denver for #hapc25 next week? #hapc #palliative #hospice #medsky

Vision Urbana hosts #AdvanceCarePlanning clinics for older adults on the Lower East Side, particularly for our NORCs (naturally occurring retirement communities)! #hapc www2.visionurbana.org/SeniorCenter...

ā€œYoung children who suffer a bereavement are probably not able to fully comprehend their loss at that stage, but it would seem wrong to say that their #grief is lesserā€ www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Caregivers, take time for yourself. Your to-do list is never-ending & you will not be handed a break. If you put your needs on the backburner, thatā€™s where youā€™ll stay. Search for volunteer or respite services. Schedule care for yourself so you can provide higher quality care for your loved one.

Too many hospitals have closed - and disproportionately in underserved communities. @govkathyhochul.bsky.social, itā€™s time to stand up for the public health of New Yorkers. Sign the LICH bill now! #LocalCommunitiesDeserveASay actionnetwork.org/petitions/lo...

šŸ„ Local Input in Community Healthcare Act passed with bipartisan support + would empower communities when local hospitals propose closures. @govkathyhochul.bsky.social will choose to sign or veto it by Dec 13. Please call on her to sign #LocalCommunitiesDeserveASay actionnetwork.org/petitions/lo...

New Yorkers are seeing too many hospitals close, and Beth Israel may be next. The state Legislature has passed a bill to strengthen community engagement and state oversight when hospitals want to close or shut units like ER and maternity. We need Gov. Kathy Hochul to sign the bill! #healthpolicy
