Eight years later and we're still celebrating that #LoveIsLove . 🏳️‍🌈

Just an annual reminder that US News World & Report rankings do not serve our patients. The vast majority of parents cannot travel to a select city to have their child seen. The #1 children’s hospital for a family is going to be the one where they can access care

Today we #RememberPulse .

Don’t wait until tomorrow to act. Collective action is the way out of this crisis.

Join us now.

We mourn the lives of the children and families affected by yet another school shooting today in Nashville. Gun violence is a threat to children everywhere. As pediatricians, we will continue to advocate for policies to keep kids safe and to #EndGunViolence .
