According to Larry Moss, MD, FACS, FAAP, President and CEO of Nemours Children's Health, delivering on Whole Child Health is the next step toward creating the healthiest generations of children. This approach emphasizes accountability for every child's health — not just for those in geographic areas served by Nemours Children’s and not just for kids in need of medical care — for all children and to ensure care and partnerships that address all factors that influence children’s health and well-being. Whole Child Health includes education and literacy, food security, safe housing, and freedom from violence, in addition to medical care. Dr. Moss shares his vision for Whole Child Health in this episode of Well Beyond Medicine.Watch the video episode on the Nemours Children's YouTube channel.Guest: R.

Ep. 132: Beyond the Basics: Unlocking the Power of the Family Resource Center
The Family Resource Center at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida, offers a fresh approach to the traditional family resource center. For starters, it’s run entirely by volunteers who will be future health care providers. These student volunteers work closely with community partners and the hospital’s social work team to share up-to-date resources with families. The goal is to meet both immediate and long-term social needs – like food, clothing, transportation and housing – that directly impact a child’s health and well-being.Guests: Laura Chilcutt, MD, Medical Director of Medical-Social Impact, Nemours Children’s Health, FloridaAmrita Singh, Resource Navigator Lead, Family Resource Center, Nemours Children’s Hospital, FloridaHost/Producer: Carol VassarViews expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views of the host or management.
