With bittersweet emotions, I want to share that I will be leaving UF Department of Surgery- Jacksonville to serve as the Richard B. Fratianne Chair of Surgery at Case Western Reserve University MetroHealth in Cleveland. Honored and humbled for this wonderful opportunity but proud to carry the legacy of UF!

In 1983, UF Health Jacksonville started the first trauma program in the state of Florida. Over the past 40 years UFJaxTrauma has helped thousands and thousands of trauma patients start their survival story. Today we honor you. #TraumaSurvivorsDay #NTSD UFJaxTrauma

Rally for #choice ⁦Planned Parenthood⁩ ⁦Duval County Democratic Party⁩ ⁦Reproductive Freedom for All⁩ #abortionishealthcare #blacklivesmatter

National Walk Out for reproductive freedom. SICU & trauma representing. #RiseUp4AbortionRights #CHOICE #WomensRights #WomensHealth

Abortion access in Pennsylvania will remain legal and safe as long as I am governor.

The draft opinion calls into question the fundamental right to privacy — the right to make personal choices about marriage, whether to have children, and how to raise them.

These are fundamental rights for Americans — a critical part of who we are.

Reproductive health decisions should be made between a patient and their doctor. Full stop.

I will be walking out tomorrow 5/5 at noon to stand up for #abortionrights . Please join me in solidarity with #WomensHealth . #WomensRightsAreHumanRights UF Department of Surgery- Jacksonville UF Health Jacksonville UF College of Medicine - Jacksonville
