Full circle Moment~ The Dad: “I got you”

30th Anniversary celebration for @fox29philly, I walked over to admire @graze.and.decor ended up reconnecting with a life I helped save.

A father recognized me. His son? I operated on him at 3 years old for a ruptured appendix. Today, he’s 20—standing there, thriving.Narrated by Fmr @Philadelphia Eagles @fmitchell84 #GoBirds

That’s the work.

From the operating room to the community to Congress—same mission, different path: creating lifetimes for Philadelphia.

And when he said, “I got you”… that meant everything.

Our QB💚is down, but not out. 🦅 A cleat to the calf plus long flights to and from London is two-thirds of Virchow’s triad, the classic setup for a blood clot. Here’s why the @philadelphiaeagles are being careful with @jalenhurts, and why that’s the right call. Get well soon, No. 1 Tanner McKee, next man up!
🏈General medical information only. I’m not Jalen’s physician.

Measles is in our backyard. A Chester County high school closed today because of a confirmed case, just outside Philadelphia.
Take care of yourselves and the people you love. We’re here to educate, vaccinate, and help guide your healthcare decisions.
No one should lose their life to a preventable disease. No child should lose time from school, and no parent should lose time from work. And no one should expose our most vulnerable (people on chemotherapy or steroids, seniors, pregnant people, and babies too young to be vaccinated) because of a feeling or a belief. If that’s your belief, hold it, but don’t spread measles to others.
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases we know. Up to 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people exposed to it will get sick. This isn’t propaganda. This isn’t for clicks. It’s a fact.
We’re open today until 5pm and tomorrow (Second Saturday) 8:30am–1pm for MMR, flu, and other recommended vaccines. Walk-ins welcome.
