A big welcome this Wednesday to Dr. Maya Ramagopal, who has joined our exceptional sleep team as medical director. Dr. Ramagopal has found herself right at home with the team approach at CHoR and our deep commitment to patients and families.

In her words: "Sleep is so fundamental to the overall wellbeing in children (as well as adults and puppies) and I am thrilled to be able to bring my experience to the Richmond community. When I hang up my stethoscope for the day, I trade it for a pair of binoculars to watch the amazing birds that visit, or, with my husband, we train our 4-month-old German Shepard pup."

Getting ready for school includes more than backpacks and pencils, especially for kids with chronic health conditions. If your child has asthma, diabetes or another condition that requires medication or care at school, summer is the time to talk to their doctor about the school action plan for the coming academic year. Because remember, a new plan is needed each school year.
