The survival rate for the most complex surgeries we perform is 6.6% higher than the national average. But we see more than just numbers. We see children who have received complex heart surgery and go home to their families to grow and live full lives. https://t.co/XuJn7TeOub

Public trust is being tested across health care, but children’s hospitals are different. New survey data shows community impact strengthens trust and goodwill, especially in areas like mental health and housing needs.
