Summer might be coming to its end, but not before Paralympians take the stage in Paris. The Lurie Children’s community is excited to cheer on former patient and paralympic medalist Kendall Gretsch in the para triathlon! Born with spina bifida, Kendall was a patient of the Lurie Children’s Spina Bifida Clinic, which treats patients from before birth into adulthood. Kendall was a natural athlete as a kid and began competing in para triathlons in college, quickly succeeding in the sport and excelling in international competitions. As a multisport athlete, Kendall has taken home Paralympic medals in the para biathlon, para cross-country skiing and the para triathlon. “I encourage other patients to try out lots of different activities to find out what they are passionate about,” Kendall said. “Competing in sports has brought me so much joy by allowing me to travel the world and connect with so many different people.” Help Lurie Children’s wish Kendall good luck in the Paralympic Para Triathlon! Watch Kendall compete in the women’s PTWC para triathlon on September 2.

A recent study finds that the U.S. capacity for #youth psychiatric inpatient beds is insufficient, despite the increases in #pediatric #mentalhealth emergencies. The research, published in Jama Pediatrics, also concluded that more than 90% of psychiatric inpatient beds were concentrated in urban areas. Senior author, Jennifer Hoffmann, MD, MS, emphasized the need to ensure equitable access to mental healthcare resources for #children everywhere in the country. https://lnkd.in/g9BQnVKJ Ann & Robert H.
