🌟 ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Meet Bethany! ('09)

Bethany attended CLC from Kindergarten through 8th grade before attending @sail_high_school. She then went on to earn her B.A. in English with a Concentration in Creative Writing from @marywash. Since then, she has become a proud mother, accomplished author, and mental health advocate.

Bethany spends her time at her dream job mentoring medical students at @fsucom. Luckily, Bethany still gets to go to CLC almost every day, as her eldest daughter Katrina (2nd Grade) is the first child of an alumna to attend Cornerstone.

Book a tour and begin the enrollment process at Cornerstone today through the link in our bio! 🔗

TFD paramedics recently returned to the FSU College of Medicine for another cadaver lab, strengthening their knowledge of human anatomy while practicing lifesaving skills including cricothyrotomy, needle decompression, intraosseous access and traction splint procedures.

Training opportunities like this help our paramedics strengthen their skills and stay prepared for complex emergencies in the field. Thank you to the FSU College of Medicine for continuing to provide this valuable hands-on training opportunity! #FullyCommitted

This makes me so proud to be an FSU alum & Developmental-Behavioral Pediatric PA-C! Heart♥️💛🧬

Families in my practice probably get tired of hearing my spiel about genetics and how I wish so much of this information could be available from the very beginning. I truly believe genetics should play a much bigger role in how we understand children’s health and development.

FSU College of Medicine is now leading the Sunshine Genetics Pilot Program, using whole-genome sequencing to screen participating newborns for far more genetic conditions than traditional newborn screening. I am thrilled to see this movement toward identifying genetic conditions earlier, rather than waiting until symptoms or developmental concerns appear years later. Early identification can mean earlier monitoring, treatment, intervention, and answers for families.

And we’re seeing this same shift in developmental pediatrics. Updated AAP guidance now places exome/genome sequencing among first-tier genetic testing for many children with global developmental delay or intellectual disability, recognizing both its diagnostic value and the benefit of testing earlier rather than at the end of a long diagnostic journey.

And for my families with older children, you haven’t missed your opportunity. When clinically appropriate, genetic testing can still be ordered as part of the developmental care I provide, and the process can even be initiated through a virtual visit.

So proud to see my alma mater helping move pediatric genetics forward.

A special moment for DM at FSU 💛❤️

Celebrating the impact of $697,380.85 from Year 31 in support of FSU College of Medicine Pediatric Outreach Programs. These funds will help support children and families throughout our community, from physicals and dental care to medical music therapy in the NICU and family support services.

So grateful for everyone who made Year 31 possible and proud to see our hard work continue making a difference for local children and families.
