13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread…

I had a great time sharing our family’s story with the @machealthsci Pediatric residents today. Very grateful to have the opportunity. @MacUPediatrics @mch_childrens @MacDeptMed @HamHealthSci @kabeattie @BrucePSquires


Outstanding work by @paiPad @mch_childrens @MacUPediatrics - So grateful that children and families will benefit from your research! Congratulations on your success!

“The success of this treatment is outstanding. A single treatment is 81 per cent effective and two treatments are 90 to 97 per cent effective in kids,” says Dr. Nikhil Pai (@paiPad), pediatric gastroenterologist at @mch_childrens #kidshealth hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/share/first-pe…



Way to go, Jeff!!!

#DYK #pneumonia is the leading cause of hospitalization for children in Ontario? Dr. Jeffrey Pernica (@JeffPernica) and co-lead Dr. Shamini Selvakumar’s new research study will examine the treatment of pneumonia at @mch_childrens to help get our kids home sooner. #ABrighterPath

An honour and a privilege to be a part of this important project! @MacUPediatrics @HHS_staff Incredibly grateful to volunteer with such passionate clinicians & researchers.

Navigating the Canadian health-care system can be daunting for families with children living with neurodevelopmental disorders like autism or ADHD. HHS's Centre for Data Science and Digital Health is working with parents and providers to change that. hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/share/neurodev…

When Braxton's mom Sam Marechal received a call back from the Family Check-Up program, she couldn't have been more thrilled. Working with Tamara Krbavac, an infant-parent therapist, gave her additional parenting skills and confidence. More on their story: hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/share/family-c…
