Benjamin D. Hoffman, MD, FAAP

I was horrified and saddened to learn that gun violence turned what should have been a happy milestone for families into a night of tragedy and fear, right here in my home state of Virginia. My heart goes out to my community, and my resolve continues to keep children safe.

Thank you Dr. Szilagyi for your inspiring leadership as AAP President during the past year. I am honored to follow you and to continue working with you and our colleagues on behalf of children and families. #PutKids1st.

As my tenure comes to a close, I'm filled with deep gratitude. Witnessing the incredible work of my fellow members this year has been humbling and made me so proud to be a pediatrician. I'm grateful for every one of you as we stand together on behalf of children and families.

Congratulations to new #FutureFAAP members this #MilitaryMatch Day. Welcome to the pediatrics family! #MilitaryMatch2022

Congress must ensure the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program is included in comprehensive year-end legislation. It’s time all eligible families can receive the many benefits that home visiting can offer. More in my @thehill op-ed: ow.ly/NhqJ50LYyiw
