 My Concern - Measles Outbreak in the U.S. As of April 25, over 880 confirmed cases of measles have been reported in 29 states — the largest U.S. outbreak in more than two decades. Texas is the hardest hit, with the majority of cases among unvaccinated individuals. This outbreak underscores the critical role of vaccination in protecting public health, especially among children and vulnerable populations. ✅ MMR vaccines are safe, effective, and essential. ✅ Employers and community leaders can help by promoting science-based health decisions. ✅ Let’s work together to build trust, fight misinformation, and prioritize health equity. www.ruthhaskinsmd.com #VaccinesWork #obgyn #ladydocfolsom #ruthhaskinsmd

 Today is World Earth Day, a powerful reminder to take care of the planet we all call home. 🌍💚 Every small action - recycling, saving water, planting a tree - can make a big difference when done collectively. Let's protect nature, reduce waste, and work together for a cleaner, greener future. A healthy earth creates healthy inhabitants. The most precious gift we can give to our children! ❤️ www.ruthhaskinsmd.com #EarthDay #LoveTheEarth #obgyn #ladydocfolsom #ruthhaskinsmd   This lovely Grandma has been my patient for well over 20 years. I have had the pleasure of delivering both her two daughters and her two grandbabies. All together here! Now that is truly generational care! www.ruthhaskinsmd.com #generationalcare #obgyn #ladydocfolsom #ruthhaskinsmd  I can't understand why we wouldn't all want a better world full of compassion? What is wrong with wanting to help others, wanting a healthy population, a clean environment, equality for all, a living wage, poverty eradication, fairness and justice, a working and empathetic government, a right and wrong value system? www.ruthhaskinsmd.com #compassion #obgyn #ladydocfolsom #ruthhaskinsmd  We are witnessing an unprecedented wave of health-related budget cuts, with 20,000 layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services - gutting key roles at the FDA, CDC, and NIH. Among those affected are top scientists leading public health, cancer research, and vaccine and drug approvals. These cuts cripple our ability to respond to health crises like the ongoing measles outbreak and the spread of bird flu. Major reductions have also hit the National Center for Environmental Health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. At the CDC, critical programs for workplace safety, HIV prevention, injury prevention, reproductive health, smoking cessation, and violence prevention have been dismantled or severely weakened. Despite claims of prioritizing chronic diseases, sweeping cuts have hit the CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. What’s next - Medicare, Medicaid, VA care? www.ruthhaskinsmd.com #StopTheMadness #OBGYN #LadyDocFolsom #RuthHaskinsMD |
