Mothers & Others is excited to now be partnering with the North Carolina Pediatric Society. The N.C. Pediatric Society is the state affiliate of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The N.C. Pediatric Society, which was formed in 1931, is a leader in advocacy at the regional, state and national level, and its members lend their expertise to advance the health of the state’s children. They believe it is essential to have a strong voice for children’s health within the state legislature and other governmental bodies and act on that regularly. The Society works through collaborative partnerships with health and medical and child advocacy organizations.
Pediatricians see the effects of air pollution on children first-hand. Children are affected more than adults because they breathe at a higher rate, and they are generally outside more often. Mothers & Others is pleased to be able to add the Society’s voice to ours in the fight for clean air.
