Timely public health info keeps communities safe. The HHS communication pause blocks critical CDC updates, risking delayed responses to threats like H5N1. SHEA urges immediate restoration—because transparency saves lives. #SafeHealthcareForAll

The removal of HIV- and LGBTQ-related CDC resources creates dangerous gaps in infection prevention and antibiotic stewardship. Access to science-driven guidance is critical for patient safety and public health. SHEA stands with @IDSAInfo in calling for transparency.

Wrapped up in warmth and big ideas! ❄️ The SHEA Board of Trustees gathered at SHEA HQ for a productive in-person meeting to enjoy dinner, connect, and plan for the future of healthcare epidemiology. Excited for what’s to come! #SHEABoard #SafeHealthcareForAll #Leadership
