Greetings, healthcare leaders. Welcome to the summer issue of MD News Central Pennsylvania. Excellent pediatric care is not a product of chance. It is the result of broad clinical experience, multidisciplinary collaboration, and high-level training and expertise informed by outcome-enhancing research. Our cover feature discusses how Penn State Children's Hospital has brought together these essential elements to provide advanced medical and surgical treatment to children with conditions requiring any level of care, from the routine to the most complex. This spares patients and their families the di‚culties involved in traveling significant distances to benefit from outstanding pediatric care. I hope you enjoy exploring what Penn State Children's Hospital has to o…er our region's young patients and their loved ones. A feature in our special clinical section on pediatrics reviews findings of an association between air pollution and increased diabetes risk among certain groups of children. The section presents wide-ranging statistics related to pediatric health, as well. We also o…er tips about the business of medicine, practice management, and up-and-coming medical devices. It is a pleasure to share information about the leading- edge specialty care available right here in our region, as well as news that is shaping medicine around the country. As always, I welcome your feedback.
