Parenting on the Frontlines: Stories of love, loss and wonder
Dr. Kelly Paradis and Dr. Morgan began a Office of Well-Being grant-funded project to create a community of awareness, insight, and compassion for all parents and would-be parents working in the healthcare profession at Michigan Medicine. The book Parenting on the Frontlines: Stories of love, loss, and wonder captures these narratives to normalize and destigmatize the shared experiences of balancing the journey of parenthood with a career in medicine.
