Remarkable improvements in cancer survivorship have prompted increased awareness of long-term quality of life concerns, including the risk of infertility among adult survivors of childhood cancer. Pediatric and adolescent patients at risk of losing their fertility due to medical conditions and treatments have more options than ever before to preserve their fertility for the future. The Fertility & Hormone Preservation & Restoration program at Lurie Children’s is the only one of its kind for pediatric patients in the state of Illinois. In this Precision podcast episode, Dr. Monica Laronda shares many new research projects she is leading alongside surgeons to improve fertility preservation. https://lnkd.in/ghTznrDZ

Happy National Dog Day! We can’t think of a better way to celebrate today than to introduce you to Hawk, a 15-month-old, Golden Retriever and Lurie Children’s first facility dog! Hawk is part of our NutriSource Facility Dog Program and is a full-time employee, working 40 hours a week M-F alongside his Certified Child Life Specialist Handler, Natalie. Child Life Specialists help patients cope with the stressors of being hospitalized by elevating their emotional safety needs. Facility dogs like Hawk are raised to help support interventions led by Lurie Children’s Child Life Specialists. These dogs help patients and their families cope with challenging medical situations, procedures and overcome stress that they may experience during a hospital stay. Facility dogs are specifically trained and are an intentional part of the child life team with very specific intervention and coping plans. Hawk is already busy engaging in child life interventions and helping to elevate emotional safety needs of our patients and families as well as staff. We are especially grateful to our Facility Dog Program supporters: NutriSource Pet Foods, Dunkin' Joy In Childhood Foundation and Fred Says We are PAWsitively thrilled to welcome Hawk to our Lurie Children’s community! Lurie Children’s will also continue its long-standing partnership with Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy. Rainbow’s trained volunteer/certified therapy dog teams will continue to provide weekly hour-long pet therapy visits in select areas with Lurie Children’s Activity Coordinators.

A good night's sleep is essential to the health and well being of children, and poor sleep can affect a child's growth and development. There are a number of factors that can affect a child's quality of sleep. Undiagnosed or untreated obstructive sleep apnea can prevent kids from getting much needed rest and is associated with cardiovascular complications, impaired growth, learning problems, and behavioral problems. Learn more from Lurie Children's airway experts about the importance of children's sleep and the impact of sleep apnea on children. https://lnkd.in/gyAas7PH

A recent study finds that the U.S. capacity for #youth psychiatric inpatient beds is insufficient, despite the increases in #pediatric #mentalhealth emergencies. The research, published in Jama Pediatrics, also concluded that more than 90% of psychiatric inpatient beds were concentrated in urban areas. Senior author, Jennifer Hoffmann, MD, MS, emphasized the need to ensure equitable access to mental healthcare resources for #children everywhere in the country. https://lnkd.in/g9BQnVKJ Ann & Robert H.

New study published in JAMA Network Open finds that emergency department-based intervention measures such as suicide risk screenings, increased access to #pediatric #mentalhealth resources, and follow-up care and safety planning can reduce risks for #youth suicides. According to the study lead author Samaa Kemal, MD, MPH, treating youth not only in the moment of crisis but extending care into the future can have lifesaving impact. https://lnkd.in/gjrm7Ghw Ann & Robert H.
