Charles A. Cowan, MD

"My entire 40-year career as a pediatrician has been dedicated to my belief that no matter their race, socioeconomic status or abilities, all children deserve the very best healthcare to allow them to achieve their highest potential. Serving disadvantaged populations is my personal passion. For the past 26 years, that has meant caring for children with disabilities — and especially in the past 15 years, caring for children and their families who are affected by autism. Every day, I come to work knowing that I’ll be privileged to see joy or accomplishment on the face of a child — whether it’s as simple as holding their body up without support or saying “Hi, Mom.”"
