ABOUT
GET TO KNOW ME
"I've had a number of patients that were very sick in the ICU and several years later, you're out watching them play sports, do musicals, just being normal kids. So being able to see kids that go from being really, really sick to kids that are living normal lives is something that I find very inspiring."
FROM OUR PATIENTS
“We had an incredibly positive experience at the cardiology clinic. I appreciated how they centered my son in their care and also made sure I was informed and aware of what was happening. When we left, my toddler said, "The doctor helped me." I'm grateful that the clinic staff helped my son see how medical teams can help him. Thank you for ALL you do to help us and all kids.”
