The health and safety of families is a top priority - both on our campus and in the community. Last week, Dr. Suzanne Rybczynski, Chief Medical Officer at East Tennessee Children's Hospital, joined the Smart Approaches to Marijuana panel hosted by Metro Drug Coalition and Luke Niforatos. The use of marijuana and other drugs in children is on the rise, and it's important that we examine this impact on families in our community. Together with local resources, we can create a healthier and safer community, one child at a time.
