Visiting Yes to Youth: Meet a Pediatrician

Meet a Pediatrician: Learning Healthy Lifestyle Habits

March 31, 2026

YES to YOUTH serves at-risk youth ages 10–18 through counseling, crisis intervention, prevention programs, and transitional housing. During my “Meet a Pediatrician” visit, I introduced common medical instruments, explained how they are used in pediatric care, and invited the youth to interact with them directly. We also talked about healthy habits, making good choices, and how everyday decisions can support long-term physical and emotional well-being. Each participant received a small take-home gift, and the adolescents were excited to meet a pediatrician and explore how doctors help children stay healthy.
