“For five decades, the pediatrician leaders in North Carolina have been innovators and advocates for child health. Through the powerful work of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, they have improved the lives and health of children and families across their state. There are powerful advocacy lessons for all of us in this book. These stories illuminate the past, but they are also a guide for future tactics and strategies.” -– Mark Del Monte, Executive Vice President, American Academy of Pediatrics
