CHOP Fetal Family Reunion 2016

Every June, families cared for by CHOP’s Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment gather in Philadelphia for an annual family reunion. http://fetalsurgery.chop.edu. On June 26, 2016, more than 1,800 people from 22 states came together at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to celebrate the 20th annual family reunion of the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment. Each year, nearly 150,000 babies are born in the United States with birth defects, many with conditions so rare that most parents and even some clinicians have never heard of them. Too often, these families aren’t made aware of the treatments available at a place like CHOP, and they are left feeling overwhelmed, with few options. The reunion brings together a unique community of families who have shared similar struggles. Nearly all of the children in attendance were prenatally diagnosed with a birth defect, such as spina bifida, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, or twin-twin transfusion syndrome that had potentially devastating outcomes. Babies diagnosed with these birth defects before birth either underwent fetal surgery to treat the condition before birth or received highly complex care immediately after birth. The fun, inspiring day is a chance to celebrate all of the amazing families and children who have received prenatal care at the center. Read more: http://www.chop.edu/news/children-s-h...
