Wrapped up the year with a journal club on the SUPPORT Trial—a landmark study that reshaped oxygen targets in extremely preterm infants. As a pediatric resident, this work reminds me why rigorous clinical research matters. #Pediatrics #Neonatology 🔗 NEJM: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Health equity means EVERY child deserves access to preventive care. If cost or access is a barrier, community health centers and local health departments often provide free/low-cost vaccines and pediatric care. Let's protect all our kids this season. 💙 #Pediatrics #PublicHealth #HealthEquity

Respiratory season is here, and our youngest patients need us. As a pediatric resident who's worked through neonatology rotations, I've seen how RSV, flu, and other respiratory illnesses can turn serious fast for vulnerable kids. #Pediatrics #PublicHealth

OU’s HEROES-X biorepository is expanding to better track preterm & full-term infants—adding milk nutrient + maternal health data to spot #NEC, #ROP & #lung disease risks earlier. As a resident trained in OK, I’m proud to see OU shaping the future of #neonatal care. ou.edu/news/article...

Had the privilege of leading Pediatric Grand Rounds at Ochsner Children’s last week. Presented a preterm case that turned out to be a real zebra—a high-grade bowel obstruction from congenital adhesive bands in a 33-weeker. Not your “bread & butter” NICU day. #NICU #Neonatology #Pediatrics

A new OHSU trial shows that 2 extra weeks of nasal CPAP in NICU can boost lung growth + cut wheezing in preterm infants up to 12 months. Proof that refining what we already have can change outcomes. #Neonatology #Pediatrics #Innovation #GlobalHealth

New 2025 research shows pediatric providers are uniquely positioned to screen & connect families to resources like WIC. During my advocacy work with local food banks, I learned: addressing social determinants IS essential pediatric care. #Pediatrics #NICU #HealthEquity

Excited to see local initiatives like ThriveKids bringing mental health and wellness resources directly to New Orleans schools! Partnerships like these are vital for addressing the unique needs of our youth and ensuring no child is left behind. #ThriveKids #MentalHealth #CommunityPediatrics

As summer kicks off, a reminder to parents: heat-related illnesses in kids are real—and preventable. Hydration, sunscreen, and shade are non-negotiable. Saw a case of early heat exhaustion this week in clinic—fortunately, caught in time. Stay safe out there! #Pediatrics #SummerSafety #ChildHealth

Presented on ISPCTN & ECHO at our residency journal club @OchsnerKids—programs bringing pediatric research to underserved communities. With NIH funding at risk, we must advocate for their future. Every child deserves access to innovation. #PediatricResearch #HealthEquity

Heard about a measles outbreak at @Sakira’s concert on May 15th, and on the same day, I saw a patient in my clinic whose family refused the measles vaccine. How do you all talk to patients or families who are hesitant about vaccines? #Pediatrics #Vaccines #PublicHealth

First steps on Bluesky! Curious about the intersections of clinical precision, ethical medicine, and global child health. Let’s connect, share insights, and rethink what compassionate care means in a changing world. #Pediatrics #Neonatology #MedicalEthics #GlobalHealth
