PA Hayley Arceneaux is a bone cancer survivor and will join a billionaire on SpaceX's first private spaceflight this fall. The 29-year-old will become the youngest American in space. bit.ly/2NrMlo4 via @AssociatedPress #yourPAcan 🚀
Thanks to all PAs/PA students who responded to @AmerMedicalAssn #StopScopeCreep social media posts. We are also concerned & channeled your frustration into this letter. PAs & physicians must work to solve healthcare challenges & improve patient care. bit.ly/3jYvROM

I’m so sad. This has been the hardest most difficult year for so many reasons.. and though I’m sure (I hope) the intent was not malicious, this is so incredibly insensitive. That DO might have just intubated your sick child to save their life.. have some respect @wearfigs
That time @wearfigs thought it was cute to degrade women osteopathic physician. Not cute.
Every physician I know would agree that a PA with 10 years of experience doesn’t need to collaborate with a physician to treat an ear infection. OK let’s start there. Let’s start at that place, and work on this! #PAsNeedFullPracticeAuthority #InItToPivot #PAsAreTheSolution

I am a PA for 35 years with extensive multispecialty background. I love being a PA and PAs are #InItToPivot to increase patient access to quality medical care. In support of all the frontliners, #PAsAreTheSolution because #YourPAcan #PAsDoThat #PAsRock and #ProudToBePA #ImNotABot
The MDs, DOs, and NPs in my WA Family Med Clinic were granted emergency OR licenses to provide virtual visits to our OR patients that live 30 minutes away. I was denied one because I am a PA. Remove the red tape, so I can my help patients. @911onFox #ShareYourStory #ThePetition

My name is Marissa and I'm a #PA practicing in Family Medicine in Washington. I'm a part of the #PAsAreTheSolution campaign because I can't stand on the sidelines while patients die because of arbitrary red tape regulations #PAsRock #ImNotABot

Did you know that 10,000 PAs in Florida practice medicine in every clinical setting including telemedicine? @GovRonDeSantis - waive restrictive PA practice rules to fight the #COVID19 crisis! PleaseRT #PAsAreTheSolution #PAsNeedFullPracticeAuthority nyti.ms/2UMwSA5

Our hats off to ⁦@nytimes⁩ and ⁦@TalaSchlossberg⁩ for so thoughtfully explaining how supervisory rules for #PAs in FL, and other states, restrict our ability to respond to changing care demands. #PAsAreTheSolution ⁦@GovRonDeSantis⁩ nytimes.com/2020/04/04/opini…
