Pictures of our division, some at work and some at our events away from work.
Our caped friend is not only ready for a seasonal pumpkin contest but also is ready to trick or treat! Armed with an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor, fast carbs, glucagon emergency kit, and ketone check strips we are all set for a fun-filled evening. A special shoutout to division members who helped create our insulin pumpkin friend, including Sydney and Ashley pictured here.
Our pediatric diabetes nursing team was just featured in the hospital-wide newsletter for their award winning care. The newsletter focused on the DAISY Team Award® they received earlier this year. This photo shows most of the team receiving the award. DAISY Team Awards® recognizes nursing teams that make a unique, compassionate, positive difference for patients and their families. We thank the Pediatric Diabetes Nursing Team and also the closely related Pediatric Endocrine Nursing Team for being amazing nurses!!

Several division members attended the Pediatric Endocrine Society Annual Meeting in late spring. Here are some pictures from their time at the meeting:
In late May, the division and family members gathered for a weekend picnic and celebration dedicated to four of our members who are leaving: Julie Osterhaus ARNP, Amy Sheehan RN, Cat Pinnaro MD, and Kyle Baum MD. Details on each can be found elsewhere on this site. Instead of those details, here is a picture of one of the gifts to Dr. Pinnaro!
This post serves to celebrate two extraordinary members of our clinical team — Julie Osterhaus ARNP and Amy Sheehan RN — and to thank them for their decades of dedicated service to our division. Over the years, each has exemplified excellence in practice, pairing deep clinical knowledge with genuine compassion and unwavering professionalism. Their care has made a lasting difference for patients and families, and their steady presence has strengthened our team in countless ways. With sincere gratitude, we thank you both for your remarkable service, your compassion, and the standards of excellence you continue to set. We wish you both the best in your next endeavors!
Dr. Baum and Dr. Power both submitted abstracts of their research to the Pediatric Research Day 2026 event. Both had their work chosen as “Best Senior Fellow Abstracts” and were invited to give research talks at the event, held on April 10. Congrats to both!
