Several cases of the measles have made national news lately, and unfortunately a few of those have included fatalities. It’s understandable to be concerned. The good news is that measles is largely preventable by vaccination. Learn whether you need a vaccine or a booster to help protect yourself, check out the most common symptoms and see who is at greatest risk. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3G464Fx

On Friday, May 16, in recognition of HAE Day (Hereditary Angioedema Day), Dr. Dareen Siri had the incredible opportunity to visit Florida and speak on the important topic of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).
She was honored to share the stage with two giants in the field of allergy and immunology — Dr. Dana Wallace and Dr. Sami Bahna — both widely respected for their contributions to the specialty.
Special thanks to Pharming for hosting such a meaningful event, and to HAE International () and HAEA () for their ongoing advocacy and awareness efforts.

On May 7, 2025, Dr. Siri was in Springfield, IL, advocating for patient rights and small businesses,meeting state legislators, including Rep. Mike Coffey. Along with the National Infusion Centers of America team, they discussed the full impact of UPLs (Upper Payment Limit) legislation on both healthcare and small businesses.

Let’s make sure the best interests of patients and local care providers remain at the forefront of policy decisions!

🌟 Advocacy Day with NICA 💬💉
Protecting Patient Care & Small Businesses!

Upper Payment Limits (UPLs) for specialty drugs might sound like a cost-saving solution, but the truth is, they could disrupt patient care and harm small healthcare businesses. Here’s why:

🛑 UPLs don't lower the cost of medications to those who purchase medications for their patients, including doctors, hospitals and independent infusion centers.
💸 They don’t reduce patient copays or co-insurance.
🚫 They risk pushing trusted care providers into financial strain, disrupting care, and forcing patients to more expensive, impersonal options.

This is why we’re standing with NICA. It’s time to protect direct-to-patient medication access, ensuring that the focus stays on patients and physicians, not profit-driven middlemen, like PBMs.

$61 Million. 1 man in charge of your healthcare. He probably gets a bonus too. Did you know UHC pays themselves 20-30% more than other agencies, hospitals, and doctors for the same services, keeping more of their healthcare spend dollars to themselves?

UnitedHealth Group CEO Stephen Hemsley will get an annual base salary of $1 million and a one-time $60 million equity award as he returns to the top role at a tough time for the healthcare conglomerate.

If you’ve ever hesitated before getting a CT scan, you’re not alone.
