A piece written about Andrea* by her Transplant Cardiologist & the head of Internal Medicine at the University of Colorado Hospital. “When the pandemic first emerged, Jacqui felt certain it would bring people together in shared purpose. Now she’s just sad that her belief proved naive. Whatever optimism she once had vanished with the 2024 election. The new federal administration is clearly not interested in safeguarding Americans’ health.”
