Today our residents and medical students had the opportunity to advocate for children and families at the Maryland American Academy of Pediatrics Resident Advocacy Day 2026 in Annapolis!
We spent the day meeting with state legislators and discussing policies that directly impact child health, including Medicaid access, school nutrition programs, and vaccine protections. Advocacy is an essential part of pediatrics — ensuring that the voices of children, families, and the providers who care for them are heard where decisions are made.
