Pediatric psychologists showing UP @AAHPM 2024. So proud of this group (and many not pictured) who are contributing everyday to research, clinical care, training, advocacy, and more. #thisispedpsych #pedpc #hapc @drrachelkentor @drsarahmccarthy

Such an incredible week at #APOS2024 Connecting with colleagues and friends who share the same passion fills my cup everytime!

@BakulaDana Amazing! Congrats Dana! So thankful for all your contributions & dedication to our field ❤️

I have the absolute best team of grad students, mentors, research staff, collaborators, and family partners to thank for this. I don’t think I’d like my job very much without you all, and I wouldn’t be very successful either 💙🤍

@eva_darow Fantastic news! Congratulations Eva! So very happy for you on this well deserved accomplishment!

@JuliaTager Ahh!!! So excited for you! What a phenomenal place to match! You will be incredible there 🥰

I don’t think I could possibly be more excited for this next step! Feeling extra grateful for the incredible mentors who have supported me on this journey. #APPICMatch #ThisisPedsPsych

@Rachel_Fisher_ @ChildrensPhila Amazing!! So proud of you! Can't wait to see all of the big things you'll accomplish there! Hope celebrations are in order!

Thrilled to match at @ChildrensPhila for internship! A dream come true ✨I could not be more grateful to my loved ones and mentors for helping me reach this milestone!

This is beautiful.

A very emotional morning here on @GMA...I sat down with @michaelstrahan and his wonderful daughter Isabella who has been dealing with a private health issue. Now, she says she's ready to tell her story...her way...in hopes of helping others.

It's a great day for #cancer care in Columbus, where we've cut the ribbon on our proton therapy center at The James Outpatient Care. The state-of-the-art center brings effective, precision proton therapy to adult and pediatric cancer patients from The James and @nationwidekids.

In case you missed it, the live recording of our Division Chief Dr. Justin Baker's ‘Key Concepts in Pediatric Palliative Care‘ presentation during a recent Pediatric Grand Rounds is now available on YouTube!📺🐨🏥 #QoLA #PalliativeCare #StanfordMedicine youtu.be/NBKDA488Lf0

@princessnancy_5 Thank you- many hugs to you! Our children deserve better ❤️

@DrMSchaefer I lost my first child to neuroblastoma. I have since met several people who lost their child to DIPG. Even though my sons chances weren’t the best, the thought of a 0% is unerveing. Many props to you who deal with Pedi Onc

This narrative is deeply personal to my grief experience as a pediatric psychologist caring for children with DIPG. Sometimes there is no sense to be made; ❤️s are shattered. Other days, I am humbled by the unforeseen gifts in spite of this cruel disease onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

@drsarahmccarthy @BostonChildrens @KerUnit What a powerful piece, Sarah. Thank you for sharing. I have no doubt Molly lives on in so many hearts and continues to be loved dearly by all who cared for her ❤️

I doubt I will ever write a more vulnerable article. This is dedicated to nurses and healthcare staff everywhere who show up every day and make the unbearable bearable. @BostonChildrens @KerUnit #childhoodcancer #pedpc #Grief journals.lww.com/ajnonline/full…

@MariaCable2 ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for your kind words and all that you do to support patients & families!

Thank you for articulating what it is to care deeply as a healthcare professional when disease steals life from children, young people and their families. You can lose a bit of you too but there are also gifts in that work. Humbling read.

@LoriWIener Thank you Lori! Appreciate all of the work you're doing to better support our wonderful patients & families. It takes a village, and I have so much gratitude for all who make this their mission ❤️

@DrMSchaefer Thank you for sharing, so eloquently, what so many of us experience on a daily basis. With tremendous gratitude for your words
