Pediatric Home Service (PHS), based in Roseville, Minn., is a home care agency that provides specialized services to children with complex medical conditions.

She has written about topics such as asthma, genital herpes, circumcision, teleradiology, body art, learning disabilities and exercise trends, and she absolutely adores the fact that writing—particularly doing the research for the articles she writes—makes her a lifelong learner.
