Thank you, @repraulruizmd.bsky.social, for your leadership in bringing the #MCED to passage. CA Cancer Advocates were honored to present you with the #EarlyCancerDetectionChampion Award for helping modernize cancer screenings so more cancers can be found at an earlier, more treatable stage.
Lowering Rx drugs costs is right focus for #POTUS and #Congress. The adoption of #PBM reforms is a step forward, but #MFN -price-setting mandates will decrease investments and weaken the next generation of breakthroughs. Taking a step back, hurting #patients.

Today’s a perfect day to remember:
A tiny act of kindness can make a huge difference.
And don’t forget to be kind to your liver—it quietly powers 500+ functions every day.
Kindness matters. So does your health.

February is Rare Disease Awareness Month.
Did you know a disease is considered rare in the U.S. when it affects fewer than 200,000 people?
Many liver conditions—like Alagille syndrome, PSC, PBC, Wilson disease, and biliary atresia—fall into this category.
#RareDisease #LiverHealth #MakeRareVisible
The Advocacy Toolkit from our partners at @nordrare.bsky.social is now available. With 15 liver diseases considered rare, we join other rare disease advocates to raise awareness and influence decisions made by lawmakers and social institutions. Click here: rarediseases.org/wp-content/u...
