Effective CPR can triple a person's chance of survival. I authored SB 945 to require hands-on CPR & AED training for all CA high schoolers by 2027. We’re empowering our students to be first responders and ensuring these life-saving skills aren't left to chance. 🩺❤️ #SB945 #PublicHealth

34 felonies without consequences erode our democracy. My mom, Dr. Shirley Weber, reflects on Germany's unified commitment to their constitution versus our courts’ inconsistency. The rule of law must apply equally to all. Listen: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI ⚖️
Alzheimer’s affects 7M Americans, but younger patients face massive private insurance gaps for plaque-reducing drugs. I presented #SB950 to ensure timely access to FDA-approved treatments for early-onset diagnoses. We must align coverage policies to reflect the urgency of this disease 🩺🗳️
I presented SB 1049 to fix a real problem: providers delivering good care but facing denials over small, fixable errors. This bill allows 90 days to correct claims after a plan action—keeping the focus on patients, not paperwork. #SB1049 #HealthPolicy
A small paperwork error shouldn’t cost providers thousands—or limit patient care. SB 1049 gives healthcare providers 90 days to fix correctable claim mistakes so they can get paid for care already delivered. Protect providers. Protect access. #SB1049 #HealthcareAccess #CAleg
When I was elected to the Assembly, there were only five Black OB-GYNs in San Diego County. I was one of them. Black women face maternal mortality rates nearly 3x higher than white women. Being heard can save lives. Watch the full conversation here: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
Families deserve to trust their child’s care. SB 874 strengthens Medi-Cal behavioral health with provider background checks, expert + family input, and clear standards with accountability—because quality care for kids shouldn’t be a question.
Did you know your zip code impacts your health more than your genetic code? 80-90% of health outcomes are determined outside the doctor's office - in where we live, work, and play. These social factors shape our wellbeing far more than medical visits alone. #HealthEquity
SB 1049 passed the Senate and now moves to the Assembly. 🎉 Denying payment over a missing code isn't protecting the system. It's destabilizing clinics that deliver real care. #SD39 #CALeg
When communities speak up together, leaders pay attention. In this episode, we talk about how consistent advocacy around prevention programs, reimbursement, and access to care can influence funding and policy decisions. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
Black women aren't believed in medical settings. This has to change. When symptoms are dismissed, lives are at stake. We must speak up AND doctors must listen better. Watch my full conversation here: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8 #HealthEquity

You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!

Since you will have more than one hit by default in this game I changed the way the enemy hits you, now instead of removing the control you can move a little while sliding and you recover immediately, I need to adjust it a bit but it works well. #godotEngine #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
Deja vu. Not going in early, for once. But, needless drama got stirred yesterday, with a coworker accusing me of a malicious act. Today(?) I may, or may not, find out whether this gets blown out of proportion or gets squashed [as it should.] Any spare thoughts, prayers welcome.
