Episode Details

Although private schools and daycares have been open across Chicago since June, public schools are only now preparing to reopen for in-person learning. Dr. Ken Fox, chief health officer and “the district’s pediatrician”, talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about centering the well-being of kids in reopening, what the science says about how to do things as safely as possible, and his hopes for getting caregivers, teachers, and everyone else on board through transparent communication and a dedication to the kids they all serve.
