Science Café 360 is a casual space for open dialogue between community members, medical researchers, and social scientists. Researchers demystify what they do, how they do it, and why they think it will help local residents. Community members - anyone from the casually interested to health activists, from citizen patients to street scholars - will probe, debate, and share ideas that come from living the experience.
Join Dr. Lisa Tuchman, Chief of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Children's National Health System, as she discusses her research on care coordination to help patients with special health care needs transition to adult care. Dr. Tuchman will be joined by TjaMeika Davenport, Parent Navigator at Children’s National, and Dr. Jalan Burton, Interim Chief Medical Officer at Health Services for Children with Special Health Care Needs. This expert panel will offer the perspectives of provider, parent and payer in addressing the needs of children with complex health care conditions as they grow and mature, and move up into the adult health care system.
