But we know that with innovative medical and surgical intervention, proven therapies and assistive technology, and the support of compassionate health care professionals, children who have these conditions can thrive and live happy, healthy, productive lives. Children who have disabilities and complex medical needs— and their families—have been at the center of our mission for more than 120 years.
