WHAT DO CLIENTS AND RESIDENTS VALUE ABOUT THE CARE YOU DELIVER? Access to cutting-edge treatments and preventives, extra protection for children at high risk of succumbing to certain diseases and care that considers all possible treatments, including those treatments still in clinical trials – care and professionalism. WHAT PHILOSOPHY IS AT THE CORE OF THE WORK BEING DONE HERE? Helping to make a brighter future for the next generation by increasing access to critical medications, vaccines, preventive care and treatment options for kids. CAN YOU SHARE PATIENT FEEDBACK OR A STORY THAT HAS BROUGHT THE TEAM JOY? We had a research participant who was at high risk of contracting and becoming severely ill from COVID-19 due to a pre-existing condition. After she received monoclonal antibodies through a trial, she was able to start eating lunch with her friends in the cafeteria again instead of having to eat alone in the school counselor’s office. WHAT INSPIRES THE TEAM AT YOUR PRACTICE? Happy, healthy children and families. WHAT’S ONE IDEA OR HABIT YOU WISH ALL PATIENTS WOULD INCORPORATE INTO THEIR LIVES? Spending time outside every day. HOW HAS A CHALLENGE THE PRACTICE HAS OVERCOME PROPELLED IT TO GREATER SUCCESS? Navigating the challenge of a pandemic, including how to provide the best and safest possible care for our patients, has propelled the practice to greater success by allowing us to lead the forefront of preventive therapies and treatments of a new disease. Offering COVID-19 clinical trials for children participants has put our research site on the map with more recognition and patients willing to travel from states far away to get access to the trials we offer and the medications they need.
