DalSolutions: Where ideas meet impact

This week, Dalhousie launched DalSolutions, a new ongoing series of stories focused on how Dal researchers work with and for the communities we serve to create meaningful change. The series officially launched with a new website and lead story featuring Dr. Christine Chambers and her colleagues at Solutions for Kids in Pain (SKIP), who are working with hospitals to adopt Canada's first Pediatric Pain Management Standard to better prevent and treat the chronic pain that one in five Canadian children endure.

Researchers interested in having their work profiled in future DalSolutions stories are invited to contact DalSolutions@dal.ca.
