You owe it to your child to be in charge of his / her health care and do everything possible to obtain the best care possible 

Do You Know?

According to the Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality (AHRQ), "Medical errors are one of the Nation's leading causes of death and injury. Rates of medication errors and adverse drug events for hospitalized children were comparable to rates for hospitalized adults as published in a 2001 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. However, the rate for potential adverse drug events was three times higher in children, and substantially higher still for babies in neonatal intensive care units. Studies of medical errors outside the hospital are just getting underway."
