It's a special time of year when we bring prom to our young patients. 'Even when you have an illness, you can do things that make you feel good. Being able to do things that are fun helps your health & well-being,' UCSF's Rechelle Porter tells KTVU. ucsfh.org/4duHYQh

Considering year-round single sports for kids? Dr. Nirav Pandya, M.D. urges caution: 'When kids specialize, they have a higher risk of serious injury, increased chance of dropping out of organized sports by age 13 due to burnout & decreased athletic performance.' ucsfh.org/4djQqlk

A night to remember! Every year, we bring the prom magic to young patients in our children's hospitals. 'These teens get to be teens, having the blast that is prom—dancing away the night,' Child Life Services Manager Michael Towne tells ABC7 News. ucsfh.org/44smvDI

Congratulations to UC San Francisco’s Dr. Stefan Friedrichsdorf (@NoNeedlessPain), Dr. Cynthia Delgado (@Delgadockdny) & Dr. Neil R. Powe for making TIME's 100 Most Influential People in Health list! #Time100Health ucsfh.org/3xZITrZ

Specializing in a single sport when kids are young comes with risks—including repetitive injuries and burnout. 'It’s more beneficial physically and mentally to try something completely different,' Dr. Nirav Pandya, M.D. says. ucsfh.org/4djQqlk

Kids who need specialized endoscopies for pancreas or bile duct conditions don't always have access to timely care, a study finds. “Waiting can lead to bigger problems, longer hospital stays & even lasting health issues” first author Dr. Emily Perito says. ucsfh.org/3UjCwaj
