Once enough of our population is immunized, the virus will have trouble spreading....

Sometimes you know she’s sick before she even does. As a pediatrician, I count on parents being that type of expert and see them as a critical partner in their child’s healthcare. Health literacy—being able to find, read, understand, and use information in order to care for your child—helps make this partnership work....

A heart defect is when the heart or the heart’s blood vessels do not grow (develop) the right way before birth. The words ‘congenital heart defect’ and ‘congenital heart disease’ both mean that the defect happened before the baby was born.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that almost 1,000 babies are born with single ventricle heart defects each year in the United States....
