Wearing white coats, physicians converged on the Capitol to educate legislators about critical health care issues, including the dangers of sugar-sweetened beverages and creating standards for vaccine medical exemptions. Attendees also heard from keynote speaker, California Governor Gavin Newsom, who told the packed room about his strong commitment to increasing access to care for all Californians.
