American College of Rheumatology Releases First-Ever Reproductive Health Guidelines

Due to everything that has been going on in the world recently, I am rather behind in sharing this exciting news - but that does not diminish the importance of this development!

In February, the American College of Rheumatology released its first-ever guideline on managing the reproductive health of patients with rheumatic diseases. This means, for the first time ever, rheumatology healthcare professionals have an official set of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to turn to when deciding how to counsel patients who are or wish to become pregnant.

Staying Connected to Kids When You Can’t See Them In Person

While we are all at home, I'm obviously quite busy juggling my three kids, who are now 7, 5, and 2. It's a lot of work for sure! 

But I know there are plenty of people who have to be separated from children that they care about, whether it's their grandchildren, nieces and nephews, godchildren, or the children of close friends. These relationships are important - both to the child and to the adult - so I've written an article with some ideas for staying virtually connected to kids when you can't see them in person. 

And if you have kids of your own? Maybe you can forward this article to friends and family members and earn yourself a little break!
