EPSDT Care for Kids Marks Its 10th Year
Winter 2003

This spring marks the beginning of the 10th year of the EPSDT Care for Kids Newsletter. During that time, we have published more than 180 articles. Our audience includes more than 3,300 Iowa physicians, physician assistants, nurses (including nurse practitioners and MCH, public health, and school nurses), HeadStart and Vista volunteers. To help our readers find the articles they want, we have created:

Articles by issue

One of the reasons that the newsletter continues is the positive input we get from our readers. Every month, professionals contact us asking to be added to our mailing list. Reader responses to biennial questionnaires are both positive and informative. While tight budgets make it hard to expand this list, having the newsletter online gives us a way to link additional readers with information.

Surviving a decade in these tumultuous times is cause for thanks, and so all of us who work to create this newsletter would like to express our gratitude to:

Our readers, whose input and encouragement shape the newsletter and make the effort of creating it worthwhile

Our many authors, busy professionals themselves, who have donated so generously of their time and expertise in the creation of the 185 articles presented since we began

Our sponsors — the Iowa Departments of Human Services and Public Health, the. Iowa Prevention of Disabilities Policy Council, and the Center for Disabilities and Development at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics — who provide both funding support and staff expertise
