Critical Medical Care

July 2017- A child's age doesn't make any difference when critical medical care is needed.  Newborn baby Griffin needed hospitalization and immediate medical treatment to survive.  Fourteen-year-old Diana just completed a much needed heart surgery which went well.  Griffin remains hospitalized with continued medical attention.
