[1] Throughout his time as a pediatrician, Danielson has facilitated the creation and development of diversity programs and contributed actively to governmental policy as a member of several health boards.

[2] Danielson was the medical director of the Odessa Brown Children's Clinic from 1999 to 2020, where he then resigned and spoke out about prevalent institutional racism and a resistance to change from hospital leaders.

When Danielson was fourteen years of age, his mother made the decision to move to Hamilton, Montana, where he graduated from high school.

[10] In 2008, Danielson founded the Washington Medical-Legal Partnership, a program dedicated to teaching doctors how to notice when outside factors may be affecting the health of a child.

[8] Ultimately, Danielson's self-proclaimed decision to leave his position stemmed from his lack of faith in Seattle Children's to properly care for people of color.

[12] Following Danielson's resignation and resultant media coverage, Seattle Children's has announced that they intend to create a new committee that will examine the hospital's current stance on issues such as diversity, inclusion, racism, and equity.
