The Children’s Health Council hosted its annual Discovery Panel featuring a pediatrician, psychologist, and psychiatrist dedicated to advancing our understanding of child development, common mental health conditions, and the diagnostic and treatment process in youth. This multidisciplinary team explored childhood behavior with consideration of healthy development and mental health conditions such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Through their collective expertise, the panel demystified identification and treatment of these conditions and illuminated pathways for early identification, holistic intervention, and enhanced support systems, ultimately paving the way for brighter futures for children grappling with these challenges.

Our simulation center provides exciting interactive learning opportunities for our faculty, nurses and residents in the Department of Pediatrics. Families were invited to bring their kids (ages 6-12 years old) and join us to explore the same tools that our staff use to provide world-class care! This hands-on experience allowed our youngest guests (and future doctors) to learn the clinical basics using state-of-the-art technology, including human-size simulation manikins.
