Dear Readers,
Thank you for your support and feedback this past year. Our editors seek to continue to provide you with timely and clinically relevant summaries. Sadly, we say goodbye to one of our editors, Cor Van Niel. Cor has given us outstanding clinical insights during the past 10 years, and we will miss him. At the same time, we are pleased to introduce John Cowden as our new physician-editor. J.C., as John is known, brings us his valuable perspectives as a practicing urban pediatrician and advocate.
