The Pediatric Journey

Quarterly Newsletter of Pediatric Practice at El Paso Children’s Hospital

This issue welcomes new physicians Dr. Grace Nicksa, Dr. Kristopher Hooten, and Dr. Stephen Watty, while celebrating milestone recognitions for Dr. Benjamin Carcamo and Dr. Shauna Goldman. It features insights into oral and maxillofacial vascular malformation management, the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, and a note from Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jeffrey Schuster. Additionally, we highlight our Level IV NICU’s response to regional needs—including ethical decision-making and extreme prematurity care—and congratulate two Texas Tech El Paso pediatric residents selected to present at the AAP National Conference. Finally, the new Pediatric Medical Genetics and Genomics team shares an inside look at their operations, genetic testing, and gene-targeted treatments.
