Christine Spolar KFF Health News NPR Health News @NPR Such an important issue.

Dear FedEx and FedExHelp I made my 3rd trip to Dollar General Blanco this morning after you told me yesterday afternoon that you were certain my package was there. It was not. Then a call to FedEx telling me my pkg is in San Antonio. I just want my pkg. Why is this so hard?

Do better FedEx Help @FedEx Dollar General Blanco, Tx. I live on a ranch. You attempt to leave a package that needs a signature. You have my # but you don’t call. You leave a tag x2. Package ends up at Dollar General where no one has a clue. 5 phone calls, 2 trips to DG no pkg.

“In places with higher levels of gun ownership, we see higher rates of gun deaths.”

Our co-director Cassandra Crifasi set the record straight with PolitiFact:

Yesterday at a physician meeting 2 of my colleagues shared traumatic stories from their childhood that involved their young friends who found unsecured, loaded guns at home and shot themselves. The pain of those memories was obvious, 30+ years later. Secure storage saves lives

Inspiring and hopeful conversation on putting what we know about preventing #firearminjury into practice by 2 remarkable leaders Dr. Jose Prince, MD and Megan Ranney MD MPH 🌻 Northwell Health

We are thrilled to host you Emmy Betz, MD, MPH 🇺🇲🩺🔬🤝❤️ and Dan Guzman. Thank you!

Powerful words about the exorbitant cost of #firearminjury not only to those who are injured, their families and communities but also to our healthcare system and larger society.
