Why pediatric cardiology?
While our Women’s and Children’s Hospital has been a recognized leader in labor and delivery for some time, the facility is now focused on pioneering a new model of services for the community. Expanding our offerings is one example of our commitment to serve the unmet needs of children and families with specific conditions by facilitating excellent treatment locally with a compassionate team of caregivers.
