"14 weeks pregnant and fully vaccinated. I got the Covid vaccine to protect myself, my baby, my family, my patients, and my community! When it's available to you, I encourage you to do the same! As a physician, I feel a responsibility to protect the cancer patients that I see on a daily basis, especially those who are immunocompromised from their therapies. We should be examples of social distancing, masking, and vaccination! But also as a human, we all have a responsibility to do what is best for our communities and for each other." — Sara Beltrán Ponce, MD (Jan. 28, 2021) "I've always been open about my motherhood journey in medicine, and its with a heavy heart that I tell my Twitter family that I've suffered a miscarriage at 14 1/2 weeks. My husband and I are devastated, but blessed to have each other and our sweet Eva. Rest in peace, angel." — Sara Beltrán Ponce, MD (Feb. 4, 2021)
