It’s National Latino/Latina Physician Day and these @DesMoinesUniv students and @MercyOne_Iowa doctors are bringing the community together to talk about why it’s important to have representation in healthcare. They hope more Latino/a students can see themselves becoming doctors.

In the US, gun violence is now the leading cause of death in children. Parents are now seeking out bullet proof backpacks because the system has failed them. Please. Talk to your patients about gun safety. And vote like the life of your child depends on it
