Together with Walker, Taylor helped launch Kids Join the Fight in 2021—a nonprofit dedicated to curing pediatric brain cancer and supporting children and families battling the disease. Today, Taylor channels that same passion into Imagine Pediatrics, ensuring that every child receives the timely, high-quality, and compassionate care they deserve.

• Ep 47: AI and the Future of Clinical Trials

  In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, host Rosa Hart speaks with Dr. Selin Kurnaz, CEO and co-founder of MassiveBio, and Craig Lipset, a globally recognized expert in decentralized clinical trials. Together, they discuss how artificial intelligence and technology are transforming patient access to clinical research and reshaping the future of healthcare innovation. Their conversation explores how decentralized trials expand access for patients within their own communities as well as globally, the importance of patient engagement in successful research, and the critical role of trust and communication between patients and healthcare providers. They also address the barriers that keep patients unaware of available trials, the challenges of navigating the patient journey, and the need for new funding models to advance rare disease research. Key takeaways include that AI and technology can dramatically reduce the time required to match patients with the right trials, while patient engagement and trust remain essential for participation. Decentralized trials open opportunities for more diverse populations, and simplifying the patient journey helps make research more accessible. Transparent data sharing empowers patients and improves outcomes, and innovative funding strategies are vital to support research for rare diseases. Ultimately, healthcare systems must evolve to better support participation in clinical trials, and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and patients is the key to driving meaningful progress.

• Ep 46: Kids Have Strokes Too: the Untold Story with Lisa Pabst

  Most people don’t realize kids can have strokes too—and the warning signs often go unnoticed. In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s Insights, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Pabst, a pediatric stroke neurologist, to explore the hidden realities of pediatric stroke and the breakthroughs bringing hope to families. Dr. Pabst shares her journey into pediatric neurology, the challenges of recognizing stroke symptoms in children, and how telestroke programs are transforming access to care in underserved areas. We dig into the unique causes of pediatric strokes—why they differ from adults, how seizures can mask the diagnosis, and the role lifestyle and even “stroke weather” can play. She also shines a light on the collaborative spirit of the pediatric stroke community, the importance of raising awareness, and the critical need for long-term rehabilitation and follow-up for children recovering from stroke. If you want to understand how innovation, teamwork, and education are reshaping pediatric stroke care, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Key Takeaways: Pediatric stroke is rare but requires highly specialized care. Telestroke programs are a game-changer for access, especially in rural or underserved areas. Stroke causes in children differ from adults, demanding unique treatment approaches. Awareness and education are vital for timely diagnosis and intervention. Seizures are a common first symptom of stroke in children, often leading to misdiagnosis. The pediatric stroke community is deeply collaborative and outcome-focused. Lifestyle factors like diet and activity can influence pediatric stroke risk. Resource-sharing and expert connections are key to better outcomes. “Stroke weather,” linked to viral infections, can impact stroke incidence in kids. Long-term follow-up and rehabilitation are essential for recovery. Connect with Dr. Lisa Pabst by email at: [email protected] Enjoyed this episode?
