Our latest issue of Believe Magazine showcases some of the incredible breakthroughs the Children's National Hospital team leads to provide hope, improve the care journey and change children’s lives. “Discovery is important, and research gives us many answers,” says Andrew Dauber, MD, MMSc, chief of Endocrinology. “But what we do with those answers is what really matters. There’s nothing better than seeing the impact that our research is having on an individual patient.” See more: https://lnkd.in/gNWXKy55
