A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
EMERGENCY NURSES DAY gives a big hug to these professionals who deal with trauma non-stop and never stop caring.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
Our awareness spotlight shines on PANS/PANDAS AWARENESS DAY. Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndromes and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders can beset our little ones after a bout with strep. Tics, behavioral changes and depression are some of the symptoms, but the good news is that these conditions can be treated with anti-biotics and other medicines.
