In the coming years CHD Pregnancy & Maternal Outcomes Consortium will positively impact care and education of CHD women as well as the healthcare professionals that care for them to reduce mortality and morbidity in our population.⁣ ⁣I am blessed to be a part of this.

Today I was surrounded by others motivated to see improved and collaborative CHD care nationwide! I am beyond exhausted tonight but inspired beyond words meeting these amazing people and sharing their ideas for the greater good of CHD care. #maternalchd2023 #chdawareness

In 2020, at the end of his final year at Pitt, Damar Hamlin organized a toy drive for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa. This is the young man who went down on the field tonight in Cincinnati. He is a man; not a number on a jersey. Prayers for Damar.

A concussion is a brain injury. There is no foolproof test for a concussion at this point. Even giving someone a battery of tests, athletes can 'pass' them yet still be concussed. "When in Doubt, Sit them Out"

Today I’ve written to NFL commish Roger Goodell and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross demanding answers about the concussion to @Tua days after he had another injury. As head of Congress’s Brain Injury Task Force I want to know how the hell he was on the field last night.

Announcers keep referring to “last week”…..it was Sunday when Tua experienced this!! His brain was not ready to play tonight because he hadn’t healed from SUNDAY’S “neck injury” concussion. theathletic.com/3638458/2022…

Regarding Tua: for those saying, “well he passed the concussion test.” I passed a concussion test once, finished playing in the game, flew home, drove to my neighborhood and had no idea which house was mine. Test or not, the man couldn’t walk straight. Play it safe! #FinsUp

Choose “neurodiverse” vs “neurodivergent”. Similar to “persistent” vs “stubborn”, positive connotation of neurodiverse & persistent describes uniqueness of our minds vs societal perceived flaws of our brain function. Reserve neurodivergent for psychopathic killers. #WordsMatter
“IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU.” - most powerful opening line in a book dedicated to us finding our purpose for breathing and being on earth. We all need to write it on a sticky note and put it on our mirrors as a reminder. #purposedrivenlife #WAKEUPWORLD #EmotionalIntelligence
Normalize conversations for men’s mental health. We do this and we have better opportunities to raise male leaders with sound minds, healthy relationships, and emotionally intelligent growth mindsets. #LeadershipDevelopment #MentalHealthMatters
