Physician Focus, July 2008: Caring for our Children — Pediatric Care
Caring for our Children: Pediatric Care
Childhood obesity is soaring. Violence among youth is a major problem. Immunizations are being called into question. And every year, children are injured and killed accidentally by firearms and a host of other causes. Those are just a few of the many areas covered by pediatric medicine – health care for people from birth through 21.
