Watch this episode of Decode Colorado to see some of Children's Hospital Colorado's programs to address social determinants in action.

Communication, advocacy, and even history-taking are all behaviors engrained in the EMS provider. In fact, we can all think of an educator, preceptor, or partner who helped teach and role-model these skills. Because these behaviors reflect our training, they are also open to bias based on our different lived experiences. Join us this month for the Prehospital Care Research Forum education webinar as we review this scoping review on using simulation to teach behavioral skills related to diversity, equity, and inclusion: https://ow.ly/Kkve50QTHNb

Did you know that every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip or palate? Today, let's shine a light on cleft care and the incredible journey of those affected. Cleft lip and palate are common birth conditions that can impact a child's ability to eat, speak, hear, and even breathe properly. Yet, with early intervention and specialized care, these challenges can be overcome. It's essential to spread awareness about the comprehensive care and support needed for individuals born with clefts – from surgical interventions to speech therapy and ongoing medical care. Every child deserves access to the resources and expertise that can transform their lives. Let's support organizations and healthcare professionals dedicated to cleft care, and let's celebrate the resilience and strength of those living with cleft conditions. Together, we can ensure that every child born with a cleft has the opportunity to smile confidently and thrive. Join us in raising awareness and advocating for better cleft care worldwide.

Family-centred service is a great idea but... what do you do when there's not enough money/time/organizational buy-in/staff support/etc?

Peter Rosenbaum, Olaf Kraus de Camargo, Rachel Teplicky, Kim Hesketh, and Elizabeth Chambers (nee Zahorchak) will be chatting about: i) what components of care families find important and desirable; ii) where the barriers lie to providing the kind of care we would like to provide; and iii) how we can use approaches from implementation science to address at least some of these barriers.
