Why are you passionate about the Clinic?

In 2014, our son was born with Maple Syrup Urine Disease, his birth opened a whole new realm of healthcare to me…genetics.   The Clinic for Special Children provided remarkable care for him, and in my heart was born a desire to serve those dealing with rare diseases.  I have worked in healthcare 17 years, and am excited to continue serving my community at a place that is so dear to my heart.
