Other Tier 1 hospitals and @AmCollSurgeons agree: cancer procedures and scheduled trauma surgeries are still needed – and still aren’t “elective.” UC Davis Health’s own @DianaFarmerMD, on the ACS Board of Regents, helped to develop ACS’s COVID-19 best practices for surgeons. 4/6
“As a mom, I’m grateful for UC Davis Medical Center because they gave new life to my son.” -Angelica Gonzalez, whose son Alex, 17, was born without kidneys. Alex underwent an essential transplant surgery on March 22, 2020, to receive a donated kidney. 5/6
It’s unfortunate, but poor “news” reporting leads to less trust in the press. Thanks for trusting in hospitals and the heroic health care workers who are fighting to save PATIENTS during the #COVID19 pandemic.
