My life’s work has been to strengthen and support parents as they nurture their children. During my tenure as Director of the Pediatric Clinic at Einstein Medical Center, we implemented group well-baby care, an alternative model of care that has been found to enhance parenting and parents’ social support. Since 2014, we have researched group well baby care and published two peer-reviewed articles in 2018 and 2021. In 2022, I created “Nurture” for our pediatric waiting room. This painting is about the village it takes to nurture children: parents; our community of healthcare workers and historical child advocates (see photocollages).
