Congratulations! As a retired pediatrician, a person disabled by loss of my left leg, an ally of the LGBTQa+community, mom of a daughter who is transfeminine, and a person horrified by how we treat the homeless population in this country, I greatly applaud your education and vocation to enhance equitable care for ALL!
