This team is trained to prepare your child for surgery

As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child and when it comes to caring for your child’s health, it takes a special kind of village.

Planning a surgery for your child can be a stressful experience and something that impacts the whole family. At UTMB Health they believe providing expert care is just part of the equation.
