Last week saw not one but TWO Haskins Practice colleagues have birthdays. An obvious excuse for celebration and pampering for all, including nails, champagne and cake!

Yesterday was International Women's Day, imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can cause change. Let's all celebrate women's achievements every day and raise awareness to drive gender parity. March is with us and brings the first day of spring, Easter, Ramadan, Basketball fans get to cheer their favorite teams and we launch our cute March monthly banner with my usual little plug. A reminder that if you haven’t come to see us within the past year, please schedule an appointment. At the practice of Ruth Haskins MD we provide the best possible Obstetrical and Gynecologic care in a relaxed, caring and compassionate way. #obgyn #ladydocfolsom #ruthhaskins To celebrate the first day of Women’s History Month, I thought I would post this excellent reference from historyextra.com of 100 women that changed the world! https://www.historyextra.com/100-women/100-women-results/ A wonderful group of extraordinary women. Contributions throughout, including, but certainly not limited to politics, equality, philanthropy, medicine, science, industry, social justice, law, art, literature and the world is simply brimming with talent yet to be harnessed, achieved and recognized! I thought to share 3 wonderful notes I received this month. It is always so gratifying and rewarding to receive confirmation that we are truly making a difference. The last note is from two dads from Philadelphia thanking me for my care of - my patients - their surrogate mom and their baby. All so very sweet!
In honor of Black history month, I thought I would highlight former and first black surgeon general Joycelyn Elders. She was born into a family of 8, with no money and no nearby access to hospitals that accepted Black women in Schaal Arkansas with a population of 98. She was taught to read by her mother and later became valedictorian of her class, granted a full scholarship to Philander in Little Rock before joining the US Army Medical Corps, followed by earning her MD from the University of Arkansas. She is known for her years conducting research on childhood diseases, and heavily championing school based health programs in poor areas while Director of the Arkansas DOH. A trail blazer and well ahead of her time, she was opposed by many throughout her career. As surgeon general - appointed by Clinton in 1993 - she promoted that it’s ok and natural for kids to masturbate, championed the use of condoms in school, to prevent STDs and pregnancy. She also advocated for drug legislation and for safe, open access to abortions. So ahead of her time that 30 years later, as a nation, we are debating many of the very same issues. An exceptional and insightful woman prepared to risk everything through relentless adversity for the service of others. #joycelynelders #blackhistorymonth #obgyn #ladydocfolsom #ruthhaskinsmd The Haskins team gathered en masse, Saturday night, to enjoy our ridiculously talented MA student, Bailey Purdue’s captivating performance as the Queen of Hearts in the ballet of Alice in Wonderland at the Hawkins School of Performing Arts in Folsom. An exceptional talent, both on and off stage, thank you Bailey. We enjoyed the evening tremendously!
