Ottawa Now - Canadian Pediatric Society calls for children to receive cholesterol checks at earlier ages

The Canadian Pediatric Society is calling for today’s children to receive cholesterol checks at an earlier age.

Dr. Michael Khoury, a pediatric cardiologist, specializes in preventative cardiology at Stollery Children’s Hospital. He is also the leading voice behind this statement, and joins us on today’s Ottawa Now.
