One of our Medically Complex Training Program presenters from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital sits on the Executive Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Foster Care, Adoption, and Kinship Care. They, along with a small group, wrote Guidance for Children and Families Involved with the Child Welfare System During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
