I joined leaders from across Pennsylvania as we ceremonially cut the ribbon of the new @PITairport. This is our region’s new front door. It’s extraordinary. Thank you to the airport leadership & staff and the hardworking men & women of organized labor for bringing us to this day.

Yesterday, my bipartisan bill, HB 980, with Rep. Kuzma to update the membership of our State Board of Pharmacy to reflect current pharmacy practice passed unanimously out of the House Professional Licensure Committee. The bill now progresses to the full House for consideration.


Glad to receive both my flu and COVID vaccines in the Capitol. As an ER Doc, I know how critical it is to protect myself, my family, and my community from severe respiratory illnesses. As a legislator, I am committed to protecting vaccine affordability and accessibility in PA.

Many in PA depend on pharmacists for access to vaccines. Today, my bill, HB 1881, with @RepTarik, @RepBridget, and @RepOMara to protect the ability of pharmacists to provide vaccines in PA passed out of the Professional Licensure Committee. The bill now moves to the full PA House


Truly honored and humbled to be named by @NASW_PA as their Legislator of the Year. As an emergency physician who has worked with social workers my entire career, I understand how critical our social workers are for the health and well-being of our community and state.

A true privilege to welcome and speak with fellow physicians from the Pennsylvania Chapter of @acog during their advocacy day in Harrisburg. Thank you for your work to improve the health of women in our communities and standing fearlessly for evidence-based public health measures

Great to meet with representatives from @CWS_global on legislation from @RepIzzy to establish an Office of New Pennsylvanians. Immigrants are a vital part of our community and state. As an immigrant and legislator, I am proud to support this effort.

Wonderful to join @Pshp_pharmacy during their advocacy day. As an ER Doc, I know how critical health system pharmacists are. I’m proud to sponsor HB 980 with Rep. Kuzma to modernize the representation on our State Board of Pharmacy to reflect the current practice in Pennsylvania.

It's vital that we ensure transparency, human decision making, and protection of privacy when AI is used in healthcare. Today, I joined with Rep. Hogan, @RepTarik, @RepBridget, and @RepGregScott to introduce HB 1925, bipartisan legislation to regulate the use of AI in healthcare.

Great to door knock in Kilbuck before returning to Harrisburg. As @SecKennedy fires scientists & DC shuts down to reverse devastating healthcare cuts, our State House will consider my bills, HB 1828 & 1881, with @RepTarik, @RepBridget & @RepOMara to protect vaccine access in PA.

I’m an immigrant, US citizen, ER Doc & State Rep. I’ve treated undocumented immigrants & still see patients. @POTUS & @VP, when I’m in the ED, should I check for: - Vital Signs or a Visa? - Breathing or a Birth Certificate? - A Pulse or a Passport? cnn.com/2025/10/04/pol…
