Highlights

Funding for adequate staffing. It would help patients, help clinicians, and provide a dignified wage for people who work so very hard by our sides.

Dr. Eric Last, Wantagh, New York
Toss up between affordable housing, support for caregivers, and universal healthcare coverage.

Dr. Colleen Christmas, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Definitely caregiver support!

Dr. Jeff Millstein, Penn Medicine
I would make organ donation an opt-out policy rather than opt-in. This wouldn’t cost much!

Crystal Favorito, pre-med, Johns Hopkins Medicine
New testing and diagnostic tools for early disease detection that are accessible, less invasive, precise, fast, and inexpensive.

Jocelyn Lee, MPH student, Toronto
Support for companionship programs (regular visits from humans or pets) for people feeling alone and isolated.

Dr. Scott Wright, Johns Hopkins Medicine

New testing and diagnostic tools for early disease detection that are accessible, less invasive, precise, fast, and inexpensive. This seems like a promising way to improve patient prognoses while reducing overall healthcare costs down the line.
