Ep. 132: Beyond the Basics: Unlocking the Power of the Family Resource Center

Apr 14, 2025

Episode Description

The Family Resource Center at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida, offers a fresh approach to the traditional family resource center. For starters, it’s run entirely by volunteers who will be future health care providers. These student volunteers work closely with community partners and the hospital’s social work team to share up-to-date resources with families. The goal is to meet both immediate and long-term social needs – like food, clothing, transportation and housing – that directly impact a child’s health and well-being.

Guests:
Laura Chilcutt, MD, Medical Director of Medical-Social Impact, Nemours Children’s Health, Florida
Amrita Singh, Resource Navigator Lead, Family Resource Center, Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida

Host/Producer: Carol Vassar
