Thank you @RepMcGovern for advocating on the House floor today for the 2.7 million Americans with gastrointestinal or inherited metabolic disorders who rely on #medicalnutrition. It's #TimeforMNEA
I introduced the Medical Nutrition Equity Act with @RepRutherfordFL so families impacted by inherited metabolic diseases or gastrointestinal conditions can access the specialty food and formula they need to live their lives to the fullest. Congress should pass it NOW!

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the start of what's been called the #formulashortages but people in my rare-disease community know as the #formulacrisis: a way-too-long thread.

TY to @joniernst and @SenBooker for your comments in support of the #MNEA S2013/HR378 in today's hearing on #foodasmedicine. Passing this legislation before year's end is imperitive to achieve equity for those who rely on #medicalnutrition. #MNEAFinishLine

The #formulashortage showed #medicalnutrition is necessary for thousands to survive & thrive. Our crisis of access won’t end when supply resumes. Save the date 9/28 for #WHConfHungerHealth & bring #MNEA S2013/HR3783 to the table. #MedicalNutritionEquityNow NutritionEquity.org
