First lady Melania Trump visited Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt Tuesday to learn firsthand about Team Hope, Vanderbilt’s multidisciplinary team focused on helping infants born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) as well as their families.
Trump’s stop in Nashville was part of her Be Best campaign, which launched in May and focuses on children in their individual paths, stressing their social, emotional and physical health. The campaign’s three main pillars focus on well-being, social media use and opioid abuse.
