Hello, everyone! I have some exciting updates from the healthcare world to share with you today. First off, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases is hosting The 2025 Liver Meeting next month in Washington, D.C. This premier event will bring together experts from the global hepatology community to discuss groundbreaking research and share practical tools for patient care. It’s a fantastic opportunity for clinicians, surgeons, researchers, advocates, and academics to stay ahead on the latest news in liver health.

In other news, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been hit hard by government shutdown firings. Key offices related to injury prevention, respiratory disease surveillance, and chronic disease have been decimated, with almost the entire staff behind the CDC’s flagship publication, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, being fired. This publication plays a crucial role in disseminating information about disease outbreaks and public health issues, so these cuts are concerning.

Despite these challenges, it’s important to stay informed and engaged in the healthcare landscape. By subscribing to newsletters like AASLD in 30 seconds and D.C. Diagnosis, you can receive essential updates on health care politics, policy, and research. It’s more important than ever to cut through the noise and stay up to date on the latest developments in the field.

As healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates, we play a vital role in shaping the future of health and medicine. Let’s continue to work together to improve patient care, advance medical research, and advocate for public health initiatives. Stay positive, stay informed, and keep up the great work!

Stay Well!
