I suggest everyone use email and social media to encourage President Biden and Vice President Harris to honor Dr. Vincent Felitti and Dr. Robert Anda with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Medal of Honor. Below is the message I use and you are welcome to copy it. I send it at least once a week.
------------------------,
Please consider Dr. Vincent Felitti and Dr. Robert Anda, co-authors of the Kaiser Permanente/CDC Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, for the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Medal of Honor. They had the foresight and courage to connect adverse childhood experiences with poor health outcomes. The ACE Study and its follow-ups are perhaps the most consequential body of epidemiological research.
Information about the ACE Study can be found at
