A walk in nature does more than move your body. It refreshes your mind, lowers stress, and supports your overall well-being.

Celebrating one more dance around the sun with gratitude for the rain even though I always want sunshine. I see profound beauty and joy in witnessing the dark rainy clouds partying away to reveal a double rainbow 🌈. This is my year to embrace and share my blessings. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Proud to announce the publication of our newest research article! 🎉
Our study examines how obstetricians and midwives across the United States view immediate postpartum diabetes testing as a strategy to improve screening after gestational diabetes.
We identified both the enthusiasm for this approach and the practical barriers that must be addressed to bring evidence into everyday clinical care.
Obstetricians’ and midwives’ attitudes and perceived barriers to the implementation of immediate postpartum diabetes testing Research has the power to bridge the gap between innovation and patient outcomes, and I am grateful to the incredible COAR.CARE team who contributed to this project.

With the wind freeing your hair, the sun painting your skin golden, and the ocean breeze kissing your lips, you radiate a unique blend of beauty, joy, and confidence. In this moment, you are exactly as you were meant to be. Naturally strong. Authentically powerful. Pure harmony. No filter. And this is why we must unplug and go back to our happy place.

Thank you to Dr. Teresa for the tour of the brand-new maternal and child hospital unit (Maternidade e Pediatria) in Mindelo, São Vicente, Cabo Verde, part of the Hospital Dr. Baptista de Sousa.

Dr. Teresa, a fellow , was my attending during my medical school global health rotation in Hospital Dr. Baptista de Sousa.

I’m excited to see the 🇨🇻 team continue to work to improve in this state of the art facility.

I’m looking forward to our future collaborations along with the Cabo Verdean - American Medical Society.

Did you know that while measles outbreaks are spreading in parts of the U.S., Cabo Verde has shown what can happen when a country invests in vaccination? With childhood vaccine coverage reaching 95% for measles, Cabo Verde has improved child survival and remains above global targets for reducing child mortality.
Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective tools in medicine. They protect children from preventable diseases, reduce suffering, and save millions of lives every year. By following science and evidence, we can protect ourselves, our families, and our communities. Cabo Verde’s success is proof: when we vaccinate, we save lives and create a healthier future for everyone. 💉❤️🌍”
