Ask the Pediatrician

Dr. Myrtis Sullivan, Chair of the Community Advisory Board of the National Children’s Study Greater Chicago Study Center, is a board-certified pediatrician with many years of clinical experience at a large public hospital. Dr. Sullivan’s research focuses on chronic diseases of childhood and adolescence (particularly bronchial asthma); breastfeeding and community-based collaborative research.

On November 12, 2011, Dr. Sullivan will be our featured speaker at our first National Children’s Study Baby Shower in Cook County. Dr. Sullivan will be taking questions from the audience about your children’s health, growth and development. We would like to offer the opportunity to all our readers to ask questions as well. Starting today, we will be collecting questions for Dr. Sullivan, so please leave your question in the comments below, OR write it on our Facebook wall, OR ask us via Twitter using #ncsmom. We will accept questions, but will only answer those that are thought to be of general interest to other parents in the Ask the Pediatrician forum. Make sure to follow us on Twitter as we will be live-tweeting the event on November 12^th, and after the event we will post a summary right here on our blog.
