We Give Back

 

This year, we are committed to donating 5% of our proceeds to the Flint Kids Fund of the Foundation for Flint. The Flint Kids Fund is a 20 year fund that invests in programs "aimed to address and mitigate the impact of lead poisoning and trauma suffered by many children in Flint" due to the Flint water crisis.  As a pediatrician born and raised in Flint, Michigan; I believe whole-heartedly in this mission and I want to help my home community as they are still battling the toxic effects of lead exposure.  To learn more about this initiative, please click on the image below.
