As a pediatric physician, I see the future every day — in the eyes of children who are learning what the world will allow them to become.

On International Women’s Day, I’m reminded that the health, strength, and opportunity we give to girls today will define the world we all live in tomorrow.

Progress in medicine, science, and society has never been the work of a few voices. It has always been carried forward by people who challenge limits, nurture others, and insist that curiosity and compassion belong together. Women have done this work for generations — often quietly, often without acknowledgment — yet their influence is everywhere: in the classrooms where young minds are shaped, in laboratories where new discoveries begin, and in the homes and communities where resilience is built every day.

In pediatrics, we witness the profound impact of women constantly: mothers advocating fiercely for their children, nurses and physicians delivering care with extraordinary dedication, scientists expanding the boundaries of what we understand about childhood health, and young girls who already show the courage to question, create, and lead.

When we invest in girls — in their education, their health, their confidence, and their voices — we invest in a healthier and more thoughtful world for everyone.

Today we celebrate the women who heal, discover, teach, lead, and inspire.
And we celebrate the girls who will carry that work even further.

Because every breakthrough begins with someone who believes the future can be better — and is brave enough to help build it.

🕯️ Sharing with Love and Purpose 🕯️

I want to gently invite our community into a space of reflection and peace.

A candlelight vigil will be held this Wednesday, January 28 at 5:00 PM, outside the North Battlefield VA Clinic (70 Knells Ridge Blvd, Chesapeake, VA), in memory of Alex Pretti.

Most of us didn’t know Alex personally—but his death has touched many hearts, including mine, as has so much of the civil unrest and atrocities happening in our country.

It calls us to remember the sacredness of life, the dignity every human being deserves, and the responsibility we carry to show up for one another, especially in moments of injustice and loss.

This gathering is an act of compassion. Of presence. Of peaceful resistance to the idea that some lives matter less. We all matter equally.

As a physician, I hold a deep belief in the worth of every life. Our children look to us—to see how we respond, how we care, and how we lead with love when the world feels heavy.

This is one small way we can be present—for Alex Pretti, for Renee Good, for all the others harmed, hurt, separated from loved ones, and killed unjustly... and for each other we look to a better future of peace, kindness and understanding.

As Mr. Rogers reminded us: “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
Alex was being a helper, so this is so very hard to write and understand why his life was so unjustly taken away. He was helping. Let’s be the helpers now. And pray that no more are taken unjustly.

We are appalled to find that the CDC’s “Autism and Vaccines” webpage has been changed and distorted, replacing science and evidence-based information with anti-vaccine rhetoric and outright lies. The new claim that “vaccines do not cause autism is not an evidence-based statement” shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the term “evidence.” The science is clear: vaccines do not cause autism.
