Southern Arizona Medical Community Rallies Behind Gabrielle Giffords
Dr. Weil and other respected caregivers say congresswoman is the right choice for District 8
Giffords for Congress today announced support for Gabrielle Giffords from respected leaders of the Southern Arizona medical community.
Among the 20 caregivers and health care professionals announcing their support today are Dr. Ron Fischler, president of the Arizona Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics; Tucson Medical Center CEO Judy Rich; Arizona Hospital Association CEO John Rivers and acclaimed health and wellness leader Dr. Andrew Weil.
“These caregivers, researchers and other industry leaders understand that Gabrielle is a true champion for the health and well-being of Southern Arizona,” said Giffords for Congress campaign Chair Michael McNulty. “From supporting cutting edge research to making sure our community health centers have the resources they need to care for the most vulnerable in our community, Gabrielle fights for those individuals and organizations who keep our community healthy.”
“It is an honor to receive the support of these doctors, nurses, administrators and academics who have dedicated their lives to keeping Southern Arizona healthy and safe,” said Gabrielle Giffords. “As a small business owner and now as a public official, I always have fought to make quality health care accessible to my employees and constituents. I was proud to take that commitment one step further when I voted in March to improve the healthcare of 447,000 individuals in my district as well as provide 13,400 small businesses in my district with tax credits to help them insure their employees.”
Acclaimed health and wellness expert Dr. Andrew Weil lauded Giffords’ commitment to the Southern Arizona community. “Gabrielle is a tireless advocate for the health of Southern Arizona and its residents. From her support of renewable energy to ensuring all Arizonans have access to the health care they need, she is a powerful force shaping the future quality of life of our community. I appreciate her courage to cast aside politics and pundits and do what she knows is in the best interest of her district. Arizona needs leaders like Gabrielle and I am proud to support her re-election.”
