“These numbers demonstrate how the mortality shock of the pandemic is directly affecting tens of thousands of children. These are really intimately experienced losses that will certainly have consequences for children's well-being going forward.” https://t.co/XXAspOAZIN

Out of thousands of articles published in the top public health journals between 2002 and 2015, only 25 mentioned institutionalized racism. In order to change a problem, we have to name it, stresses Assistant Professor Rachel Hardeman. https://t.co/i9PBsc86Fn

Supporting school based health care to serve children, teens and youth where they are!

Multidisciplinary, integrated care is the model of school-based health centers like our @HealthStartMN clinics in @SPPS_News high schools. Our providers Linda (LICSW) and Carrie (NP) team up with Valeria (MD) from @MayoClinic to represent MN for @sbh4all @SBH4MN #SBHC19

What Jesus never said: "Feed the hungry only if they have papers." "Clothe the naked only if they're from your country." "Welcome the stranger only if there's zero risk." "Help the poor only if it's convenient." "Love your neighbor only if they look like you." #CaravanaMigrante

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. The best thing to do for a child with a difference in sex development is to love and accept them as they are. Pediatricians are committed to the health and dignity of all children.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Any public person who uses speech that dehumanizes people ("animals"), condones their assault ("Any guy that can do a body slam...he's my guy") condemns them as sinners ("sodomites") or paints them as a threat ("heretic") cannot, when those people are attacked, claim innocence.

Children in detention centers at the southern border may suffer long-lasting trauma, @thestate reports. Pediatrician @juliemlinton describes her visit to a detention center as "chilling" and bemoans the impact on kids #ProtectFamilies #KeepFamiliesTogether https://t.co/LiAAgvVzmr

Data show 96% of kids in immigrant families live with parents who have contributed to U.S. economy for more than five years. https://t.co/YxdRGHGkC8

As the House prepares to vote on a spending bill to fund the federal government, pediatricians have one message for Congress: #ExtendCHIP funding for the longest possible duration at the soonest possible moment. Children & families have waited long enough. It’s time to #SaveCHIP.

Congress missed the September 30 deadline to #ExtendCHIP. Now, states are preparing to send letters informing parents that their kids might lose their health coverage. Children should not suffer in order for Congress to act. https://t.co/wrxHKp1881

It's not too soon to discuss public policies that keep children safe from guns. For too many, it's already too late. https://t.co/1Y3n0MHY4U
