NPR Features The Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment and the Advancing World of Fetal Surgery

In early June, reporters from National Public Radio (NPR) spent two days in CHOP’s Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment (CFDT) covering a story about fetal surgery for myelomeningocele. The NPR team captured various aspects of patient Sarah White’s experience, including her fetal surgery, and interviewed several members of the CFDT team. The reporters then traveled to Cincinnati to visit 10-year-old Sean Mulligan and his mom Katherine who underwent fetal surgery for myelomeningocele at CHOP in 2000. The story, which is able to be heard below, aired as part of a summer series “Beginnings: Pregnancy, Childbirth and Beyond.”
