Emily Lieberman, MD, FAAP

Guest

Emily Lieberman, MD, FAAP, is a general pediatrician in the Chicago area. She and her family are also survivors of the Highland Park Parade mass shooting in 2022. In the aftermath of that trauma, she founded OnCall4Kids, a non-partisan coalition of physicians and healthcare workers dedicated to creating a safer America for children, free from gun violence. OnCall4Kids uses evidence-based data and personal testimony to support its expert opinion that improved gun safety legislation can help save lives. The group organizes meetings with federal lawmakers in Washington, DC, and stateside to discuss safe storage regulations, universal background checks, and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
