Dr. Litam came to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in May 2024 as the featured presenter during Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This might be one of the best decisions I made during my tenure as the program manager for the Employee Resource Groups at Cincinnati Children’s. I would encourage anyone looking for excellence to run, not walk, to bring in Dr. Litam.
