CHICAGO, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The most trusted voice in child health, the American Academy of Pediatrics, is bringing their expert guidance straight to the ears of parents and other caregivers. The Healthy Children podcast will debut on June 6, 2024, with new episodes available on Thursdays on all major platforms.
To celebrate the launch, Healthy Children will have a special giveaway. Listeners can submit the "secret phrase" revealed during Episode 2 for a chance to win a $100 gift card.
Each podcast episode will be 15-25 minutes long and will feature interviews with leading authorities on topics like social media and mental health, nutrition from infancy through adolescence, treating common illnesses, and sleep strategies for kids of all ages. The guests will be pediatricians and other trusted experts in child health and wellness.
Edith Bracho-Sanchez, MD, FAAP, will host Healthy Children. Dr. Bracho-Sanchez is a New York based mom and a pediatrician at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Born and raised near Caracas, Venezuela, she has a long history of breaking down medical information for parents in both English and Spanish. Dr. Bracho-Sanchez is an on-air medical expert for CNN and has appeared on NPR, Good Morning America, Univision and other media.
"We're so excited for the opportunity to reach parents directly with the latest evidence-based guidance, empowering them to make the best decisions for their families. I'll be speaking with leading experts in child health, answering frequently asked questions, and hopefully having a little fun along the way as we explore the good, the bad, and the messy of parenting," said Dr. Bracho-Sanchez.
The Healthy Children podcast is an offshoot of Pediatrics On Call, an AAP podcast for medical practitioners, and HealthyChildren.org, the official AAP website for parents. Pediatrics On Call and HealthyChildren.org are trusted sources of information for professionals and parents alike. The Healthy Children podcast will build on that trust and reach an even wider audience with free, accessible, and timely information.
