Playing sports keeps kids active and strong — and a sports physical helps keep them safe.

A pre-season physical is an important way to catch potential health concerns early and make sure your child is ready to play. It’s one more way we partner with you to support their health on and off the field or court. Don’t forget to also ask us to complete any school forms this summer.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, and Seattle Children’s researchers published new findings uncovering su***de risk disparities within Asian American youth and young adults.

The study, led Dr. Anthony L. Bui, MD, at Seattle Children’s Research Institute discovered that grouping all Asian Americans together when examining youth and young adult su***de rates overlooks how specific ethnic subgroups may have statistically higher rates of su***de and suicidal ideation than others.

“Few public health studies currently divide Asian Americans into more specific ethnic categories.” Bui said. “This research is one of the first attempts to understand how these rates differ across Asian ethnicities.” Learn more.
