For Seattle-area families who relied upon Dr. Ben Danielson, the medical director of the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic, the grief over his resignation is twofold: They lost a trusted pediatrician and advocate, and the reason he left is painful.
Danielson resigned in November, citing institutional racism at Seattle Children’s hospital, he said Thursday. The clinic, which primarily serves families of color and low-income families, is part of the hospital system.
