Dear SCAAP Chapter Members,
As many families and healthcare providers face challenges with the destruction of property or storm-related medical emergencies, we wanted to share these resources to help support children in times of crisis.
Please let me know if we can help you or your practice during this difficult time for our state. Many of the families we care for already faced struggles with access to food and shelter, and the effects of this storm will cause further hardship. We urge you to reach out with questions or specific challenges you encounter, and we will do our best to connect you to local resources.
Sincerely,
Martha M. Edwards MD FAAP
SCAAP President
