Dr. Arnold tells why many ERs can’t handle pediatric emergencies and strategies to fix it.

I’m excited to chat with Dr. Arnold about pediatric readiness, kids' health education, and health disparities in children. Dr. Alana J Arnold is a board-certified pediatric emergency medicine doctor, medical director, founder, and CEO of Premier Pediatric Solutions. Her work focuses on improving children's health in our community ERs and urgent cares and giving families tools to gain health literacy. Born and raised in Philly, Dr. Arnold attended Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. She then pursued her pediatric residency in Oakland at Children's Hospital Oakland. Finally, she completed her pediatric emergency medicine fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, the country's largest free-standing children's hospital.  She is a huge advocate for kids' health. She is leveraging tech to allow clinicians to deliver better pediatric care, even when a pediatric specialist is not on site, which occurs in most community ERs and urgent cares. Her work is critical to help care for the nearly 30 million children that pass through our ER systems each year. Connect with Dr. Arnold:  www.linktr.ee/premierpediatricsolutions
