Doctor’s Note: June Newsletter Introduction from Dr. Cara Biddle

Dear Colleagues,

As summer gets underway, I want to thank all of you for the outstanding care you provide to children and families every day. It was wonderful to see so many colleagues together at our recent Future of Pediatrics Conference. The energy, thoughtful discussions, and shared commitment to advancing pediatric care made it a truly rewarding event. If you attended in person and have not already done so, please remember to claim continuing education credit and complete the conference feedback survey. We also have the recordings posted to our website for those who could not attend – or those who would simply like to rewatch.

One of the greatest strengths of our pediatric community is our willingness to learn from one another. With that in mind, we are pleased to continue our collaborative forums: our Practice Administrator Group meetings will remain monthly, and the eCW User Group will continue meeting every other month. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity to share practical solutions, discuss challenges, and stay connected with colleagues across our network.

We are also excited to introduce a new collection of clinical support tools now available on our website. We recently posted evidence-based resources to support care for acne, HIV/PrEP, and obesity. We are proud to offer these practical tools to help streamline care and support clinical decision-making in your practice, and we hope you’ll find them useful in your day-to-day work.

Thank you for your partnership, your dedication, and everything you do for our patients and families. We appreciate being part of this pediatric community with you.

Sincerely,

Cara L. Biddle, MD, MPH

Senior Vice President, Community Pediatric Health

Children’s National Hospital
