Aurora, CO US
October 25, 2024

SAHM recognizes that advancing adolescent health depends upon effective partnerships among adolescents, families, health professionals, public and private sectors, communities, schools, and other social institutions. This partnership with Children's Colorado provides an opportunity to address the barriers identified.

On behalf of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine we wish to thank Roberta K. Beach for her work as a pediatrician and as a specialist in adolescent medicine and teen sex education, which brought her many local and national awards and recognition. She co-authored chapters in several medical publications. With gratitude.
