Embrace change and maintain openness in the journey towards trauma-informed care. 

-It's through this wisdom and guidance that we're excited to bring you a revealing and heartfelt interview featuring the Highland Hospital pediatrics team. Delving into understanding adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma's impact on health, you'll hear each care team member offer insights on implementing ACEs screening and supportive measures, reflecting on hurdles overcome and collective milestones achieved.

As one of the exemplary teams that are part of the Resilient Beginnings Network (RBN), Highland Hospital Pediatrics invited Health Pilots to host this conversation with them in-person at their facility in Oakland, California – gathered around the table to openly share and unpack their journey through this program with their coach and medical director of RBN, Dr. Dayna Long. Take in the valuable lessons they learned individually and as a care team - and the unique, transformative impact of the Resilient Beginnings model on patient care.
