Healthy doesn't have a size. ❤️

When we talk about childhood obesity, it's important to remember that we're talking about children—not numbers on a scale.

Every child grows differently. Instead of focusing on appearance or weight, let's focus on building healthy habits that support children as they grow: nutritious foods, regular movement, good sleep, time away from screens, and a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.

And it doesn't have to be complicated. Small, healthy choices made together as a family can add up.

At Kedren, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive and build a healthy foundation for life.

Sickle cell disease doesn't have one face.

While sickle cell disease is more common among people of African ancestry, it can affect people from many different ethnic and geographic backgrounds, including people with roots in the Middle East, Mediterranean, South Asia, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

That matters because what we assume can sometimes affect what we recognize.

This National Sickle Cell Month, we're raising awareness that sickle cell disease can affect anyone—and that understanding the disease starts with looking beyond stereotypes.

Know the facts. Know your status. Know that sickle cell has many faces. ❤️

At Kedren, we honor Hispanic culture this month and every month. And part of honoring a culture is taking the time to understand it — the words, traditions, values and stories that shape the people and communities we serve.

These are a few of the words many of us grew up with. Words that can carry a whole lot of meaning, love and memories beyond what you’ll find in a dictionary.

Watch and learn. 🇲🇽🇸🇻🇬🇹🇭🇳🇨🇺🇩🇴🇵🇷🇨🇴🇻🇪🇪🇨🇵🇪🇦🇷🇨🇱🇧🇴🇵🇾🇺🇾

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating not just the words, but the people, stories and traditions behind them.

August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month! 👀💙

As children head back to school, there's more to check off the list than new shoes and school supplies. Healthy vision is an important part of a child's development, learning, and overall wellbeing.
Vision problems aren't always obvious to parents or children. That's why routine screenings are so important—they can help identify potential concerns early and determine when a child may need additional evaluation.
As part of our well-child visits, Kedren provides vision screenings to help monitor children's health and development.
Because at Kedren, caring for children means looking at the whole child—their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

🎒 Back-to-school checklist:
☑️ School supplies
☑️ Well-child visit
☑️ Vision screening
☑️ Immunizations
☑️ A healthy start to the school year

Healthy eyes. Healthy kids. Ready to learn.

Extreme Heat Alert: Stay Cool. Stay Hydrated. Stay Connected.

Los Angeles is experiencing a significant heatwave, and extreme heat can be more than uncomfortable—it can be dangerous.

As temperatures rise, take a few simple steps to protect yourself and those around you:

💧 Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
☀️ Limit outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day.
🏠 Stay in a cool or air-conditioned space whenever possible.
👵 Check on older adults, young children, and neighbors who may be especially vulnerable to the heat.
🐾 Don't forget your pets—they need protection from the heat, too.
🚗 Never leave children, older adults, or pets in a parked vehicle.

And remember: heat can affect your wellbeing in more ways than one. Extreme temperatures can make it harder to sleep, increase stress, and leave us feeling physically and emotionally drained.

At Kedren, caring for our community means paying attention to the conditions that affect both our physical and mental wellbeing.

Stay cool. Check on your neighbors. Take care of yourself. We're in this together. 💙

Good governance is the foundation of strong organizations.

Kedren is proud to see Dr. Jerry Abraham participating in conversations focused on good governance, leadership, accountability, and organizational effectiveness.

As a healthcare organization serving South Los Angeles, we understand that strong leadership extends beyond the delivery of care. It shapes how organizations build trust, make decisions, collaborate with partners, and remain accountable to the communities they serve.

We appreciate Dr. Abraham's continued engagement in these important conversations and his commitment to bringing thoughtful leadership to the work we do at Kedren.

💙 Therapy Thursday: Back to School Can Bring Big Feelings

For some children, the first day of school means excitement, new friends, and a fresh start.

For others, it can bring anxiety, fear, sadness, or a feeling of being overwhelmed.

A change in routine, separation from caregivers, academic pressure, social challenges, or past experiences at school can make the transition especially difficult.

So if your child seems more emotional, withdrawn, irritable, worried, or reluctant to go to school, remember: behavior can be communication.

Instead of simply asking, "What's wrong?" try:

💙 "How are you feeling about going back to school?"
💙 "What's something you're looking forward to?"
💙 "Is there anything you're worried about?"
💙 "How can I help?"

And if those big feelings become difficult to manage, it's okay to ask for help.

At Kedren, our children's behavioral health services provide a safe, supportive space where children can express their feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and work through challenges with the help of trained professionals.

Every child deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported.
