How do we better support patients as they transition from pediatric to adult endocrine care?

Next month, at the 2026 PENS National Conference, Leslie Pitts, DNP-PhD, CPNP-AC, AP-PEN, University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Nursing will share findings from her PENS-funded research on young adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and how to translate those insights into practice.

This session is for you if you want to:
• Improve care continuity during the transition to adult care
• Strengthen emergency preparedness for patients with rare endocrine conditions
• Support safe and effective medication management across care settings
• Better understand the real-world experiences of young adult patients

Join us in Columbus this April.

Did you know congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most common and most severe cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infants and children, and it often remains underrecognized?

👉 Join us on Wednesday, February 11, for a live virtual session examining critical gaps in CHI care and emerging treatment approaches.
🎤 Julie Raskin (Congenital Hyperinsulinism International), Diva De Leon-Crutchlow, MD, MSCE (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia), and Paul S. Thornton, MD (Cook Children’s Medical Center)

Register here: https://events.medscapelive.org/website/91676/

Why this matters:
🔹 Ongoing hypoglycemia places infants at high risk for neurological injury
🔹 Diagnostic understanding has advanced — but therapeutic options remain limited
🔹 Many children with diffuse CHI still require pancreatectomy, underscoring the need for safer, more effective treatments

During this session, leading experts will review real-world patient cases and discuss both current management strategies and emerging therapies — including how clinicians approach complex decisions in high-risk neonates.
🗓 February 11, 2026
⏰ 10:30–11:30 AM ET
