In 2016, she took the campaign nationally, helping create Blood Donation Days in multiple states, National Blood Donation Day and National Blood Donation Week, working with Vitalant (formerly) United Blood Services, American Red Cross and blood banks throughout the United States.[10][11][12][8][13][14][15]

In 2020, efforts to put an end to biannual time changes stalled in multiple state legislatures, she and Dr. Paul Kalekas, Internist, began a petition to Congress for the #SickofSpringForward and #FinishedWithFallBack campaign, due to studies citing health risks caused by the disruption in one's circadian rhythm.
