Congratulations to Dr. Meghan Young, DO'12!

Meet Dr. Meghan Young, the newest member of the Broadlawns Pediatrics team.

Dr. Young grew up surrounded by medicine. Her mom, grandmother, and aunts are nurses, as her own childhood care inspired her to become a pediatrician.

She also has a special interest in foster care and has served as a foster parent with her husband.

“We like to help any way we can. Foster children and families face unique challenges and needs,” she said.

As families prepare for a new school year, Dr. Young recommends gradually adjusting children’s schedules.

“It’s time to roll back those bedtime hours. Each week, go to bed 10-15 minutes earlier. It’s also important to keep your activity level up and think about nutrition and water intake,” she said.

For families visiting the Broadlawns Pediatrics for the first time, Dr. Young offers this reassurance:

“We have a wonderful clinic with great staff. Everyone here is ready and excited to take care of you. We know receiving care can be nerve-wracking at first, but we have a lot of resources available,” she said.

Dr. Young cares for patients with acute illnesses and chronic conditions, provides back-to-school physicals and supports patients’ mental health needs.

“We live in a time where mental health care is so important,” she said. “You are not alone. We would love to partner with you on your journey.”
