What led that vision for advocacy as the cornerstone of your presidency?

Yeah.

So educating the public to protect children is really critical to me.

Protecting our children is something that's often neglected.

If you look at our policies and procedures from the United States of America through either HHS or the Secretary of Health, you do not find a lot of policies, very, very few, that are directly related to children.

And even just looking at public media, public television, um, other cable stations, you really don't see pediatric health represented.

And I'm not sure why that is, but I think as pediatric surgeons, we have a responsibility to provide that education.

And were they a simultaneous passion that started or one led into the other?
