President's Message, July 2021
Trude Haecker, MD, FAAP
Year in Review
It is hard to believe that it has been a year since I took office. I want to thank all of you for your interest, engagement, and support of the PA AAP. The depth of clinical, educational and research talent we have in Pennsylvania is truly remarkable. During this past year, I have gotten to know so many amazing general pediatricians and incredible specialists working in academic health centers, children’s hospitals, and private practices with expertise in urban, suburban, and rural health.

#CallYourPediatrician
This toolkit will provide materials to help spread the word – YES, bring your child in and please call your pediatrician if you have any questions or concerns! We know some parents are uncertain about bringing their child to the pediatrician for their scheduled well-child visit, or for immunizations – or if it is better to wait until after the pandemic. Pediatricians’ offices are open and have taken every precaution to ensure the safety of patients, families, and staff.
