A Shot of Hope

Posted on December 18, 2020December 18, 2020 Gayle Schrier SmithLeave a commentPosted in Coronavirus, DrDownload

The first shipment of COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Richmond this week.  I’m calling it a shot of hope, and I couldn’t be more hopeful and yes, excited to get my vaccine. As a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, I am always careful to say when I’m speaking on their behalf and when I’m […]

I always want to be an example to them of life-long learning. The American Board of Pediatrics certifies that I am maintaining competency in my profession.  They ask […]

April is Autism Awareness Month, and when the folks at NBC Channel 12 called to ask if I would help them raise awareness, of course I said, “Yes.” I began thinking about Autism Awareness Month and wondered who decided we needed one.  Isn’t everybody aware of autism?  The startling reality is, according to the CDC that 1 […]

Measles And Memories
