As one of only six centers of its kind in the United States funded by the Maternal Child Health Bureau, the Pediatric Pulmonary Center (PPC) at Children's of Alabama relies on family members as a critical part of the care team. In this episode of the Inside Pediatrics Podcast, we hear from Dr. Brad Troxler and family faculty member Linda Russo about a series of videos the PPC recently developed to help families through the daily challenges of a new diagnosis, raising a child with a chronic illness and how to advocate and become an agent for change.
