08/02/2026 The Healthy Matters Podcast S06_E04 - Backpacks, Books and Bugs:  It's Back-to-School 101! With Special Guest:  Dr. Leslie King-Schultz, MD, MPH It's back-to-school time, and you might have all of the school supplies purchased and all the first-day-of-school clothes laid out, but is your child ready for the school year from a health perspective?  From vaccination updates to sports physicals, medication lists, and helping them get on a proper schedule - there's a lot to consider when it comes time to send them back for another year of learning. Thankfully, on this episode, we'll be joined by pediatrician (and parent!) Dr. Leslie King-Schultz to help us get the jump on how to best prepare our kids -- and ourselves -- for the upcoming school year.  We'll go over doctor visits, school forms, the importance of staying in touch with teachers and the school's medical staff, and ways to keep a helpful eye on your kiddo throughout the school year and set them up for success.  So before that first bell rings, join us!
