Paul HegyiPHYSICIANS: This month we have been celebrating PRIDE, which is an opportunity to celebrate our LGBTQ colleagues, other medical professionals and patients. We should remember to not only appreciate the contributions and achievements of LGBTQ medical professionals but also rededicate ourselves to better serving the medical needs of the LGBTQ community, which has historically been underserved by medicine and whose young people in particular can have unique challenges that too often have been neglected or ignored.

 
 
Our community and our country are experiencing a nationwide blood shortage, in part due to the re-scheduling of elective surgeries that were delayed because of COVID. The San Diego Blood Bank says their inventory is very low, and they are asking the medical community to help spread the word about the urgent need for blood donations. Please let your patients, staff, colleagues, friends and neighbors know their blood donation is urgently needed at this time. You can CLICK HERE  to schedule an appointment to donate blood.
 
Champions for Health, SDCMS' non-profit organization committed to serving the medical needs of poor, minority and underserved communities in San Diego County is having its annual fundraiser on Saturday, July 10th at 6pm. This is an organization worthy of your support and new tickets have opened up for this terrific event. Please CLICK HERE and consider buying tickets or donating directly to Champions and/or participating in their Silent Auction.
 
Today is the fundraising deadline for Dr. Sion Roy for State Assembly. Dr. Roy is a front-line physician at Harbor-UCLA Hospital and his candidacy for the legislature is a top priority for the California Medical Association and the San Diego County Medical Society. We are coming off the success of the recent landslide victory of our very own Dr. Akilah Weber's election to the State Assembly from San Diego County. Dr. Weber and Dr. Juan Arambula in the State Assembly and Dr. Richard Pan in the State Senate - who is termed out of office after next year - are the only physicians in the legislature and who can bring firsthand experience in shaping health care policy in the largest state in the nation. It is important that we amplify that perspective by helping elect Dr. Roy. Please  CLICK HERE  to join me in contributing to Dr. Roy's campaign.
 
As always, let me know if you have any questions! Paul Hegyi, CEO
