The program explores Ruth’s quest for information on her condition and features an interview with N. Scott Adzick, MD, CHOP’s Surgeon in Chief and the founder and director of the CFDT. He explains the many breakthroughs that have been made in treating spina bifida sooner. Also included in the documentary is the Mulligan family from Cincinnati, Ohio.
