Approach to Care
It’s a real privilege to work with children and families. Establishing deep relationships and helping them navigate challenging conditions are the aspects of my work that I love the most. We are fortunate to have a world-class team of people at Boston Children's who help make this possible. When it comes to innovations that inform care, we never stop working together to push the envelope.
