Dr Olson Huff

Dr. Huff is one of America’s most respected pediatricians. His significant contributions to the field of pediatrics has spanned over 40 years, from his days of pediatric residency training at the Charlotte Memorial Hospital to his most recent contribution as the Medical Director for The Center for Health and Aging, Mountain Area Health and Education Center.

Dr. Huff found joy in the challenges faced within pediatric medicine and dedicated most of his career to focusing on the expansion of health care services to all children, with a special focus on children with special health care needs. This direction led him to the establishment of The Olson Huff Center for Child Development, which supplies interdisciplinary care for children with special needs.

Dr. Huff’s literary achievements include his self-penned book, The Window of Childhood: Glimpses of Wonder and Courage. This book became the basis for the movie A Country Remedy (formerly called Simple Things). Along with collaborating on The Triumphant Child book series, Dr. Huff is a regular contributor to the Sixty Second Parent website. He has also written extensively on issues relating to children’s health and children with special health care needs, and co-authored a chapter on evaluation of learning problems in school-age children published in Developmental Pediatrics.
