What if the biggest lesson from the Olympics wasn’t winning — but respect?

Our children learn how to handle differences by watching us. The tone we use. The curiosity we model. The way we disagree.

A recent Zest blog explores how the Zest Core Values align with the Olympic spirit and offers a powerful framework for raising thoughtful, resilient kids in a divided world.

Read the full reflection here at zestpeds.com/blog/excellence-respect-differences-lessons-from-the-olympics.

The Olympics offer lessons about character, humility, and how we live alongside people who are different from us.

We are thrilled to open our 8th office with the incredible Kristina Javier. Ribbon cutting this weekend. Welcome Kristina to Zest Pediatrics of Southeast Orlando. Can’t wait to watch the fabulous care you deliver to the families of the Lake Nona area.

Now Open!

The best part of opening week hasn't been opening the doors. It's knowing that the care happening inside these walls is built on relationships - not rushed visits.

Are you receiving the level of health care you deserve?

Nice commentary in NYT today from an ethicist on concierge and direct primary care type practices. Behind a paywall, but the gist of it is that a single individual or family is not responsible for the train wreck that is the healthcare system.

Just like people purchase a home and go to restaurants that provide the environment and service they desire, they should select the healthcare they deserve.

The author goes on to suggest the solution is not for an individual or family to continue to use a broken system, but like other global U.S. issues make a statement with the way they vote and advocate for policy change.

So - Are you receiving the level of care you deserve?

I can afford the membership fee, but I’m torn about the ethics of being part of this growing trend.
