The physician associate profession is on the cusp of a revolution. As a profession we are ready as PAs to grow up, regulate ourselves, and spread our wings to fulfill our full clinical potential.

These changes need advocacy and action at both a state and federal level. It’s time to put our money and ourselves where our mouths are and take action by advocating for legal change as a profession. 

I’m debriefing on my recent trip to the state capitol advocating on behalf of PAs in the state of Pennsylvania.

Did you know that children can start to deposit cholesterol in your coronary arteries as young as age 3? Young children learning to love movement and understand the importance of heart health is crucial to growing up healthy and avoiding heart disease down the road. 

How can we promote healthy habits and how to tune into body cues in our children? Focus on how healthy choices make kids *feel* instead of focusing on how these habits make our bodies *look*. 

Passionate about pediatrics as a Pedis PA and working with kids, Kaitlin Pond PA-C didn’t want that passion for heart health and active lifestyle to be confined to the exam room. So, she decided to write a children’s book: The Art of Being a Heart - all about heart health explained in a way that kids can understand.
