Join pediatrician Dr. Kundan Verma for Coffee & Conversation in virtual event

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) — Staying safe and emotionally sound will be a challenge this year as COVID-19 keeps us more cooped up than usual.

Join Dr. Kundan Verma, a Mayo Clinic Health System pediatric and adolescent medicine physician, for Coffee & Conversation, a virtual event aimed at helping families prepare — physically and mentally — for a pandemic winter.

Winter can be a challenging season for some families, especially with the colder temperatures, limited daylight hours and increased isolation. But this winter — with COVID-19 spreading easily — could present new challenges unlike most of us have experienced.

As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that the cold weather will cause COVID-19 cases to surge, you might be asking yourself what you can do now to prepare for the winter ahead as well as how to keep your family both safe and content through the winter months.

Find out more about the event, sponsored by Misty’s Dance Unlimited, the La Crosse Community Foundation, News 8 Now, Mayo Clinic Health System and Coulee Parenting Connection, on the event’s Facebook page.
