The sonographer community desperately needs ARDMS to protect our interests interests at the federal and state level through increased advocacy efforts. After bear 20 years in this profession, myself and many others do not feel heard, valued or respected.
Sonographers are the unsung heroes of the medical field but if the blatant abuse of many in this profession continues it is not worth the mental and physical burnout. Ultimately if there are no changes made there is no real reason to continue in this profession. We are strong in asking ARDMS to:
Stop increasing our dues until full financial transparency is provided.
2. Full public accounting — Publish annual reports showing exactly where sonographer fees are spent.
3. Oversight & accountability — Create a member-led committee to review budgets and spending.
4. Direct reinvestment — Fund legislative efforts for workload regulation, workplace safety and fair pay.
5. Rebalance priorities — Executive pay should not grow while members’ needs are ignored.
We save lives every day, yet ARDMS drains us with fees, endless requirements, and zero transparency. Sonographers are overworked, underpaid, and getting injured—stop profiting off our backs and start supporting us.
My mother was a midwife in Canada. I learned about FGM from her when she had a client who had to undergo surgery just to be able to give birth safely, let alone the original pain and mutilation she underwent and all the problems in between. I know it is hard for a culture to change, but this is one practice that absolutely must be eliminated.
This is inhumane and goes against human rights. As a women, the least I can do is advocate for the many other women who are facing such suffering. This is not okay, and awareness should be brought to this issue.
I am voicing my concern about the rate hikes from Duke Energy. I am elderly & on a fixed income, and the recent utility hikes are squeezing my budget to a breaking point. Please do not allow AI centers to function off of the citizens backs and pocketbooks.
As a retired couple, we are working to reduce our expenses, not increase them. Essential living costs, such as electricity, should not rise simply because of a business decision to expand or improve capabilities. These types of costs should not be passed on to customers, particularly those living on fixed or limited incomes. We respectfully ask that you consider adjusting the rates so they are fair and not punitive to customers.
During the last storm, one of my 6th graders fractured her ankle from slipping on ice! A fellow teacher friend told me a high school student of hers got hypothermia because he chose to wait with a woman who slipped and broke her leg on the sidewalk until emergency services arrived. The conditions were unsafe for walking commuters & as I myself struggled to cross Grand Concourse I couldn’t help but think about my students with mobility disabilities and how difficult it would be for them to get to school. Please make the call for remote learning to protect student & staff safety!
