She helped Dr. Ravi Vegunta and Dr. Rick Pearl start a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Clinic 14 years ago. Because of her determination and personal commitment, she organized a clinic that includes pediatric surgeons, pulmonologists, neuro-psychologists, neonatologists, dietitians, nurses, occupational therapists and physical therapists in one setting. The children and parents who often travel two to three hours can in one visit accomplish what previously required multiple trips to OSF Children’s Hospital. This unique clinic is one of a handful nationally.
