Don't forget to register for our special members-only event with Dr. Eric Fethke where the themes of his book "The Privilege of Caring" will be discussed! In his book, Dr. Fethke shares the life lessons he learned while practicing medicine as a pediatric cardiologist. Through personal anecdotes, patient stories, and thoughtful insights, we see behind the curtain to the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of caring for the sick or broken. With incredible humility and an endless supply of patience and genuine sensitivity, Dr. Fethke challenges us to change a broken system so that others without care may finally receive that which they so desperately need.

DFA Member and medical student Ellen Pil was present at the White House this week to celebrate the anniversary of the #InflationReductionAct. Reasons to celebrate: 1️⃣ The Inflation Reduction Act is the most consequential health care laws since the Affordable Care Act, and is lowering prescription drug costs, making health insurance more affordable, and creating an economy that works for working families. 2️⃣ Two years ago , the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. Since then, millions of people with Medicare have been saving money on their prescription drug costs. 3️⃣ Thanks to the law, Medicare finally has the authority to rein in soaring prescription drug costs. That’s good news for people with Medicare who rely on expensive drugs to stay healthy and thrive. And that's just to name a few! Join Ellen and a network of thousands of like-minded advocates by joining DFA today https://lnkd.in/g3CfD2b3

It’s Day 4 of celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the #InflationReductionAct! Like DFA leader Eric Sullivan, MD said - the #InflationReductionAct is a BIG MOMENT that is worth advocating for. Today, we celebrate the $6 billion savings across 10 drugs when new prices take effect in 2026 as a result of the first Medicare drug price negotiations. https://lnkd.in/gpwbggBY
