#25YearsChangingLives ✨ Some stories define our mission. 🇱🇨 At just 14 months old, the brave Atreus from Saint Lucia faced challenges that brought him to us. Born with a rare heart condition, our World Pediatrics team mobilized immediately to connect him with vital, advanced surgical care in St. Louis. His journey has been one of courage and hope, encompassing two transfusions and open-heart surgery. Today, his heart beats strong, teaching us the true meaning of resilience. To heal a child like Atreus is to change the world. For 25 years, our promise has been clear: ensure Equitable Access to advanced pediatric healthcare. That's why we operate Shoulder-to-Shoulder with professionals, partners, and communities, transforming health systems through Deliver Care, Empower Care, and Transform Care. The joy in his smile, now on the road to recovery, is the result of the power of unity and the dedication to giving every child the opportunity to thrive. ➡️ Join our 25-year legacy. Help us write the next chapter of healing for one more child. #KidsFirst #HealAChildChangeTheWorld #WorldPediatrics (fb)
