Needle Phobia Group Success
Congratulations to Brooke and Liz on a successful first Needle Phobia Group! Each child who showed up for their vaccine appointment left with a Band-Aid and a smile.
We were so pleased to receive this message from a parent:
"THANK YOU for such a great workshop! Listening to one of the other boys yesterday speak so confidently and then my child also being so confident when talking about the class, it was like night and day!! Consider this a huge success!!"
Gastrointestinal Microbiome and Allergic Proctocolitis Study
Dr. Yuan is part of the Gastrointestinal Microbiome and Allergic Proctocolitis (GMAP) study research team at Mass General Hospital. The study focuses on the "earliest manifestations of food allergy in infants and the many factors that may contribute to the development of allergies or, conversely, tolerance acquisition."
Enrolled patients from Pediatrics at Newton Wellesley have provided wonderful information to the team over the years. Please visit the GMAP website to learn more.
RSV: More Than Just a Cough
Almost all children get RSV at least once before they are 2 years old. For most healthy children, RSV is like a cold. But unfortunatley, some children get very sick with RSV.
Gun violence prevention
Gun violence is the leading cause of death in children in the United States of America. This sobering statistic is one that we, as a pediatric practice, cannot ignore.
