Kids and Altitude
Welcome to Inspire Pediatrics! I'm Dr. Laura Vanston, pediatric nurse practitioner and Colorado mama. I love to support parents in doing what they love most- especially if it's bringing your kids to the mountains!
A lot of parents don't know how altitude can affect their kids, which can cause symptoms that vary from unpleasant to serious. That's where I step in - I offer both virtual consultations and a handy PDF guide based on the best evidence about kids and altitude.
Learn how to prevent problems, minimize symptoms, and spot serious complications!
