Per Dr. Marilyn Heine:

ACTION ITEMS. Take a moment. Be heard. You can make a difference.

1) Urge Congress to include physician and patient protections in COVID-19 relief: https://physiciansgrassrootsnetwork.org/be-heard

2) Urge Gov Wolf to Grant Medical Liability Immunity During COVID-19: tinyurl.com/yarf4tcs

3) Congress must not pass harmful “surprise billing” law: p2a.co/bG2tAxX

Your View by Pa. Medical Society: Why nurse practitioners need collaborative agreements with doctors

Op-ed: Nurse practitioners deliver excellent care while working within the health care team, but they do not have the same training as physicians, especially when it comes to treating patients with complex medical needs.

The World Surgical Foundation has performed over 10,000 FREE SURGERIES in the past 20 years in places like Honduras, the Philippines, India, Thailand, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Haiti, and Ecuador. To fund equipment and medicines for three upcoming missions (volunteers pay their own way), WSF is hosting a benefit concert "Music and Healing" at 3 p.m. Sept. 15 at The Forum Auditorium in Harrisburg, featuring internationally acclaimed violinist Odin Rathnam. If you'd like to support WSF's work, you can buy tickets or donate at www.worldsurgicalfoundation.org.

The World Surgical Foundation (WSF), founded by Domingo & Vennie Alvear, is seeking donations of used (but still usable) luggage for use in charitable surgical missions serving indigent patients abroad. The Alvears -- Dom (a pediatric surgeon) and Vennie (an anesthesiologist) -- are well-known to many of you. Many local medical professionals have participated in the missions over the 22-year history of the WSF. The organization does at least three missions per year, performing 100-150 major surgeries per mission. The luggage will be filled with medical supplies needed to perform the surgeries. It’s all carried by volunteers to the mission sites. The luggage should be fairly large, wheeled, duffel-bag or soft-sided suitcases. There are various sites you can drop off the luggage and if you can’t drop off, a volunteer can pick it up. Call Executive Director Jen Keeler at 717-232-1404.

Oppose SB25: Your Health Care Team Is Better Together
