Happy #PAWeek2024 @mcastrocalzada! Let’s celebrate Physician Assistant/Associate Maria Castro Calzada as she looks forward to some remarkable milestones in 2025: commemorating 23 years working alongside Dr. Vartivarian at @metropolitan_id, achieving 25 years in medical practice, and celebrating her 50th birthday! Beyond devoting almost half of her life to treating Infectious Disease patients, PA Calzada has specialized in Hyperbaric Medicine and Surgical Wound Care. As a native Spanish-speaking practitioner, her expertise has expanded our team’s ability to care for patients we may not have reached otherwise. #pasdothat👩🏽‍⚕️ #pasgobeyond #PAandMDTeam

We fully support the heroic efforts to adhere to CDC guidelines and the recommendations of the @American Academy of Pediatrics by these school districts. These Texas school districts will have mask mandates in defiance of Gov. Greg Abbott www.khou.com/mobile/article/news/education/texas-school-districts-mask-mandates/285-15e754cf-2ea9-43d6-968c-b19b8387b8c3
