“I am so lucky to work with an amazing team that has dedicated their lives and careers to support families who have children with complex illness and our bereaved families.   It is an honor and privilege to work with families as they encounter some of the most challenging times in their lives.  They have taught me so much about love, endurance and courage.  Each patient and family has a unique and important story to tell and it is our job to truly and genuinely listen to them.
