The American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) recent policy statement on child poverty encourages pediatricians to tackle “poverty-related disorders” through health screenings and interventions as well as address the “toxic effects of poverty” through program and policy advocacy. The Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity is hosting a national webinar to explore different ways pediatricians can address the detrimental effects of poverty on children’s health.
The webinar will be held on June 20th from 3-4 p.m. EDT. Click here to register and for more details.
