Sometimes a new presidential administration comes in quietly, and other times it starts
with a bang.

The U.S. budget and appropriations process is both extremely critical, as it is the
mechanism through which the bulk of the government is funded, and quite confusing,
particularly these days as it often drags out months beyond its due date.

I recently had the honor of attending a White House event, “International Overdose Awareness Week.” Having not known anyone personally who has overdosed, I did not expect the
impact that this event would have on me.
With that said, last year, a friend of one of my college-age sons had an incident
I consider a near miss, where a drink provided to him by someone else made him extremely
sick for the entire night.

Do you remember your first encounter with voting? I remember going with my mom to the
polls when I was very young. She would always put on a nice outfit for the occasion,
go into the booth, close the curtain, and pull lots of different levers. To me, this
formality forged in my mind that voting is a sacred duty. In fact, when I first voted
via absentee ballot in college, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't go into
a booth and pull levers.

Following ACP's recent successful Leadership Day in Washington, D.C., I decided to
unwind by taking a walk through the woods, specifically a four-day, three-night section
hike of the Appalachian Trail in southern Virginia.

April is one of my favorite months, not only because it is my birth month and the month
of the NCAA tournament's Final Four, but also because it is when ACP holds our Internal
Medicine Meeting.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
It's time for health policy valentines,
From ACP straight to you!
Yes, it is that time of year. We are all slogging through the winter, and yet there
is love in the air! And in love, like with most things, actions speak louder than
words—even louder than a badly written health policy valentine poem.

ICYMI. I had no idea what this acronym meant when I first started out on Twitter (now
X), but it is now one of my favorites to use. “In Case You Missed It”
is a great way to bring attention to something that may have flown under the radar
amid some other high-profile news story, like a Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce sighting,
but that you believe the reader will care about.

While I hate to see summer go by the wayside, I do have a real appreciation for fall
and the month of November in particular. It is when my twin boys were born (now nearly
19 years ago) and when I get to cook some of my favorite foods, like butternut squash,
pumpkin muffins, applesauce, and more. I also love that it is a time where we are
all asked to focus on gratitude.
