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.
When planning a surgery, the teams within UTMB Health’s pediatric units are specially trained to understand your child’s needs and they know what is needed to support your whole family through the process.
For surgeon, Dr. Maria Carmen Mora this level of care is something she is proud to provide working alongside people like Regina Burdett who, as a child life specialist, helps to guide families through the process of planning a surgery.
