Why do we do research? 🧐🔬
Because every discovery, every breakthrough, brings us one step closer to helping kids heal, grow and thrive.
Watch as some of our research team members share what drives them to help the smallest patients with the biggest hearts.

This year's #ResearchMonth theme is Foundations for the Future so we asked our research colleagues how they see the work they are doing today having an impact on children in the future. Luis E. Sainz y Diaz, a bilingual clinical research coordinator, shared his response.
This graphic is on a light blue background. It has two hexagonal shapes on it. It asks "how do you see the work you are doing today having an impact on children in the future?" This response is from Luis E. Sainz y Diaz, Bilingual Clinical Research Coordinator, Endocrine & General Pediatrics. They responded with: My work will improve diabetes management for our families and increase Spanish-speaking participant inclusion in research. By focusing on these goals, I can significantly impact both the health outcome of children with diabetes and the diversity of research participant populations.
