A cancer diagnosis as a kid becomes a lifelong passion for pediatrics
When kids dream about what they want to be when they grow up, it doesn’t always come true. But for Dr. Jennifer (Jen) Pratt, it did. Her answer to that question was always: a pediatrician. Dr. Pratt is now a pediatric hospitalist at Children’s Minnesota and has been since 2013. A difficult diagnosis at a young age changed her life forever. It ignited in her a passion to care for other kids in an often-unexpected stay at the hospital, just like her when she was a young child.
