About this episode
Dr. Joshua Arthur discusses the transformative impact of the Danis CARES Program on pediatric care and the importance of addressing social needs.
Dr. Joshua Arthur explains that the Danis CARES Program addresses the profound social needs many pediatric patients face, such as food insecurity, which he describes as both tragic and motivating for continued intervention. He reflects that routinely asking families about their social challenges has significantly deepened trust and transformed his long‑term relationships with patients. When the initial grant ended, support from the Cardinal Glennon Foundation enabled the program to evolve into a flexible, sustained model that is now funded by the hospital itself.
