Westchester Medical Center, a member of WMCHealth

This is how a community comes together to save a baby. In London, England, a family faced a dire situation when their unborn son, Adam, was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve syndrome, a rare congenital heart condition that put Adam's heart and lungs at risk. With few options, the family sought help globally, and Refuah Helpline connected them with our Maria Fareri Children's Hospital. Here, Sameh Said, MD, performed successful heart surgery, offering hope for Adam's future. For more on Adam's story: https://bit.ly/3RFS0VK REFUAH HELPLINE REFERRALS INC

We believe in the power of advocacy, especially in healthcare. That's why we proudly participate in the annual Family Advocacy Day hosted by the Children's Hospital Association. This event allows us to actively contribute to a cause we deeply care about: ensuring every child has access to quality healthcare. We'd like to acknowledge the efforts of Carina, her mother Noel, and our colleague Mary Delaney. They recently traveled to Capitol Hill and engaged with staff from the offices of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Representative Mike Lawler, and U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman. Their dedication is commendable, and we're grateful for their representation. #FamilyAdvocacyDay
