Young and Healthy - New Patient and Family Podcasts Launched

Cincinnati Children’s has launched a new podcast called “Young & Healthy.”  

"Young & Healthy” features thoughts and perspectives from Cincinnati Children’s experts, patients, families–and even kids–on all things related to pediatric health. We will publish episodes weekly that will range from 15-45 minutes long. 

Why a podcast?  We want to meet our patients and families where they are and provide content that they find useful. The largest age groups of podcast listeners (12-34 and 35-54) reflect the typical age of parents of children newborn to 18. These are millions of people who will likely have interest in child health information as they navigate parenthood. Cincinnati Children’s can provide that information to them in the podcast format, allowing them to consume the content as part of their regular routine.  Join us for lively conversations about current health topics and issues that affect children today.

Episode 1 Title: COVID-19 and Kids: Finding New Normal 

Episode 1 Description:  The COVID-19 pandemic has been tough for everyone. Children have missed so much–time with grandparents, in-person school, prom, graduation and sports. Overnight, the pandemic changed life as they knew it. This week we discuss the effects of COVID-19 on children and their families. Our guests, Josh Schaffzin, MD, PhD, director of Infection Prevention and Control; Monica Mitchell, PhD, senior director, Community Relations and Mary Carol Burkhardt, MD, medical director, Hopple Street Health Center, share their perspectives on how we’re finding a new normal and what parents can do to help kids as they adjust to what’s next.
