I testified ⁦@peia hearing. They are in crisis & raising costs. How can I ask them to pay for $$$ obesity GLP1s when other plans are dropping coverage? PEIA already invested in a pilot & that money should not be wasted. Cover small #patients already in pilot & follow outcomes!

Proud of the ⁦@WVUMedSchool⁩ medical students who won the WV ACP Doctors Dilemma competition. 2 students also worked with me to present clinical vignettes on obesity medicine cases, raising awareness of this specialty and the need for education about nutrition and obesity.
