A Note from Dr. Horton
"CHKD has afforded me the opportunity to see the impact a children's hospital network can have on the lives of the individual patients as well as the community. I find the compassion, caring, and genuine dedication to the health and well-being of children to be universal at CHKD, and I could not be more proud to continue to be a part of that mission."
