    Top CEOs Provide Pediatric Insight

    From startups to global corporations, CEOs have the power to make immense strides in any respective industry. In pediatric medicine, they drive advancements in child health through high-quality care, coordinated programs, education, research and advocacy. While providers are working directly with patients, these leaders are preparing the infrastructure for success while pushing us to reimagine healthcare. It’s because of them, institutions like Children’s Hospital Colorado and Nationwide Children's remain among the top 10 pediatric hospital systems in the country. In this episode, we go beyond the white coat by sitting down with two of the most influential CEOs in pediatrics. Jena Hausmann is the President and CEO of Children’s Colorado and Tim Robinson is the CEO of Nationwide Children’s. Under Jena’s leadership, Children’s Colorado has been recognized nationally and internationally for our medical, research and advocacy programs. Jena has been a champion for increasing research and innovation and improving pediatric mental health. Tim’s leadership has helped transform Nationwide Children’s from an important regional children’s medical center into an internationally prominent academic healthcare system. Nationwide has become a model for how a hospital system can improve neighborhoods, increase health care access in rural communities, drive innovation and pioneer economic development. Some highlights from this episode include:  The career path of working in healthcare to becoming a CEO  How pediatric healthcare has evolved and where it’s going  The current challenges and threats to the healthcare landscape  The importance of children’s hospitals partnering with community providers   For more information on Children’s Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

    Addressing Neurologic Conditions with Precision

    One of the great medical accomplishments of our time is the evolution of precision medicine. The ability to understand a patient’s unique genetic profile has become more accessible to our patients, and now, there are multiple mechanisms for using that information to overcome disease. One of the specialties leading the way in precision medicine is pediatric neurology. According to the World Health Organization, more than one in three people are affected by some type of neurological condition. They are a leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide. This subset of precision medicine will not only help us decrease those numbers but also allow us to treat some of these conditions in ways we have never done before. To detail this exciting work, we’re joined by two experts. Scott Demarest, MD, and Julie Parsons, MD, are both pediatric neurologists at Children’s Hospital Colorado and faculty at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Demarest focuses on rare epilepsy conditions, and Dr. Parsons specializes in neuromuscular disease. Dr. Demarest is the Clinical Director of the Precision Medicine Institute at Children’s Colorado. Some highlights from this episode include:  Understanding precision neurology within the context of precision medicine  Why precision neurology positively impacts diagnosis and treatment options  How families are more easily accessing important genetic testing  The role primary care providers play with caring for these rare diseases  For more information on Children’s Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

    Courageous Conversations Around Suicide

    Many of us avoid talking about suicide, not only because it’s a difficult conversation, but also because we don’t know how to. And avoiding that conversation can be a barrier to helping those most at risk. One family from Colorado is at the forefront of changing the stigma and creating opportunities for fearless conversations. They courageously shared their story in a powerful documentary released earlier this year called “My Sister Liv.” In this special episode, we honor Liv Kunik’s life and learn about how her story is spurring hundreds of courageous discussions around suicide. The guests for this episode are family members at the heart and soul of the documentary, as well as mental health advocates. Honey Beuf is Liv’s mom, and she is the co-founder and Executive Director of The Liv Project. Tess Kunik is Liv’s sister and the co-founder of The Liv Project. Her voice also narrates the film, taking us through Liv’s story. Jessica Hawks, PhD, is the Clinical Director of the Pediatric Mental Health Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado and a child and adolescent psychologist. She is also an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include:  An overview of how the “My Sister Liv” documentary came together and the impact it’s having in the community   Ways for friends, family and providers to have “fearless conversations”  A discussion of how providers can best care for suicidal patients and their families, such as asking direct questions  A look at advocacy efforts underway and tools created to support courageous conversations  A youth suicide prevention resource from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention providers can use in their daily practice  Visit The Liv Project website to learn more about their work, how you can access the film and details about the game mentioned in the episode, The Game that Goes There.
