Summer-Safe, Trauma-Wise: Advocating for Preventative Legislation

Advocacy remains an extremely important role of the pediatric health care provider. Pediatric nurse practitioners are challenged to focus on supporting the most critical policies that govern child health, especially in the areas of safety and injury prevention within their own states and neighborhoods.
