We had a truly magical evening at the 2024 Storybook Ball presented by SLC Group Holdings! It was a night to remember and one certainly filled with enchantment and inspiration - from our patient Ambassador Owen Zak and his mother, Jessica Goodine, to our honoree Nick Vailas of BASC, there was certainly magic in the air. ?

Public health and law enforcement in the Granite State are sounding the alarm about a disturbing trend with young drivers. There have been 100 deaths on New Hampshire roads so far this year, and 10 of those victims were drivers under the age of 21. That number represents a 400% jump from this time last year. Lexi Bly of Dartmouth Health Children's Teen Driver Program took part in a recent panel discussion hosted by WMUR-TV to discuss distractions, impaired driving, and the impacts of speeding on road safety. As Lexi told moderator Katherine Underwood, adolescents and young adults often don't consider the risks of reckless driving.

Medical providers make dozens of clinical decisions a day with little time for researching the latest guidance. Which tests does a patient need? What drugs should be prescribed for an uncommon condition? How do you treat a newborn with low blood sugar? We're trying to make that up-to-date guidance and research easier to find for our Dartmouth Health Children's providers as they care for nearly 60,000 children in New Hampshire and Vermont. We partnered with C8 Health to develop a “knowledge management system” across all our pediatric locations that will put that guidance and latest research in one spot. “It’s another way to create a regional pediatric health delivery system that feels connected and can therefore serve a broader population, hopefully more effectively,” Dr. Keith Loud, physician-in-chief for Dartmouth Health Children's, told the New Hampshire Bulletin.
