Send Your Kids to Summer Camp. It’s Good for Them!

Summer camp is, for many of us, what our magical memories of childhood are made of. Those occasions where we said goodbye to our parents in anticipation of spending the week without them and were simultaneously bursting with excitement and overwhelmed with anxiety – those were our very own coming-of-age moments.

An interview with the most influential person that shaped my experience at Winnie Palmer Hospital: My labor nurse

Winnie Palmer Hospital is a special place to me because it is where both of my children were born. In December of 2009, my husband and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl.
