Here's the truth: abortion providers are here to stay. With love, with courage, with an endless amount of care for their communities. We are in solidarity with every provider in our advocacy family, especially those who are under threat.

Maternal mortality in the U.S. INCREASED 33% since COVID/2020

-44% mortality increase in Latinas
-25% increase in Black women

THIS. IS. A. CRISIS.

Abolishing reproductive rights will only worsen this

The time is NOW to advocate for our most vulnerable patients. NOW.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade, ending our constitutional right to abortion. We know you may be feeling a lot of things right now — hurt, anger, confusion. Whatever you feel is OK. We’re here with you — and we’ll never stop fighting for you.

Inspiring words from our own Dr. Arvin Wali (Arvin R. Wali, MD, MAS, PGY-4) to the class of 2022, including:

➡️ Commit to life-long learning. Many of the advanced techniques we use in #neurosurgery today didn’t exist when I was in medical school.

Watching our toddler see “papa” on stage was so special. Medical training often has me worried about the next steps, as though contentment is contingent on achieving the next stage.

I’m glad to have this perspective to look back & celebrate being works in progress

Congratulations Julia Cormano, MD for winning the UC San Diego Health medical school-wide Excellence in Teaching Award given by the third year students!! You make us very proud UC San Diego OBGYN 🎉🎉

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

I concluded my resident research day talk on innovation in Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery with a goal to better support my wife and son.
