Kids are resilient. Much like our city, they bounce back when they’ve been knocked down, and they’re not afraid to tell you what they think. From pediatric cancer patients finding a way to give back to pre-teens working to forge healthier lifestyles to Harvey survivors putting the pieces back together, this year’s revamped issue of the Kids’ Health Annual tells the stories of some of those children and Houston’s world-class hospitals that are helping them succeed.
Behind each great kid are stand-out parents committed to making life the best it can be for their young ones. Here you can read the stories of those who’ve raised and are raising children with learning differences, another whose NICU experience led to a new career, and more—while also gaining practical advice from parents, pediatricians, and experts on some of the timeliest issues facing kids of today.
From our Houstonia family to yours, we’re proud to present the 2018 Kids’ Health Annual.
