Sallie Permar, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine, shared a post by Peter Hotez, Professor at the Departments of Pediatrics and Molecular Virology and Microbiology, Baylor College of Medicine, on X/Twitter:

“Thank you to our pediatrician scientist colleague Peter Hotez for highlighting this disturbing trend of a declining pediatrician pool due to how we fund children’s health in this country. We need a movement for children.”
