"In this I believe....a society is defined by how it cares for its most vulnerable members. And among the most fragile are the youngest of our people, babies. Babies are our future, the embodiment of our dreams and the hopes for our future; for parents there is nothing more frightening than the realization that their baby is in peril. But such unfamiliar waters need not be traveled alone. I am passionate about helping parents navigate the fearful journey towards hopeful cure; and when cure is not possible, at least to healing. Seattle Children's is a place where we cure, heal and care; it is a true joy to serve among so many people who hold these values deep in their hearts. Really, magic does happen here."
