    Thank you for highlighting the #7 treatment of therapeutic hypothermia. Our son is one of the miracles who received this treatment at CHOP with an outcome of absolutely no brain damage and is now a healthy, thriving 9 month old. We are so lucky to have these amazing medical facilities in our community!

    We travel all the way to Philly from Michigan to seek treatment at Shriner’s Hospital for Children, for our daughter Grace who has Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. Well worth it!
