Teen girls and young athletes are at higher risk for low iron. ⚽

If your teen is constantly tired, struggling to keep up, or having trouble concentrating, it may not be “just a busy schedule.” Low iron is common during adolescence — especially after growth spurts, the start of periods, and with intense athletic training. Research shows up to 40% of teen girls may be at risk, and active teens, like those who play sports, can lose iron faster than their bodies can replace it.

The good news: iron deficiency is treatable. As thresholds evolve, it’s worth discussing with your child’s physician — especially if symptoms persist, even with “normal” past tests.

🍕💛 A slice of kindness goes a long way.

Thanks to the incredible support of the Caleb Strong Foundation, our patients and families often get to enjoy free pizza lunches. These special moments offer more than just a meal—they bring smiles, connection, and a welcome change of pace during challenging times.

Their generosity also keeps our family room stocked with coffee, offering comfort and a small taste of home when it’s needed most.
