Hugh’s Story

Hugh was diagnosed with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in utero. His parents traveled to the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which has treated more CDH cases than any hospital in the world. Hugh is now a healthy 10-year-old who proudly claims Philly as his hometown, and the Eagles as his favorite team.
