Description

We begin this episode with a heartfelt and simple thank you to all Nemours associates for being on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19.  SEGMENT 1:  Music therapist Nicole Kirby from the Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando grabbed her ukulele on the way to an impromptu interview so she could offer up a song along with a story about how the human heartbeat can mean so much to parents as they face the illness - or even death - of a child. SEGMENT 2: Telemedicine has taken on a new and much larger role given the situation surrounding the coronoavirus - and Nemours has been at it for quite some time, according to Alfred Atanda, MD, surgical director of sports medicine at the A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington. SEGMENT 3: Peter Phelan is a research scientist and Research Laboratory Manager for the Nemours Children’s Hospital. His labs are located at the University of Central Florida Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences. It is here where he and his fellow associates do basic science research - the very beginning stages of research that can lead to clinical trials in humans and, ultimately, a new treatment for cancer, asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and musculoskeletal diseases.
