The Proof...
Birth defects can be devastating. During her training, Dr. Kate Ackerman developed a passion for research during her training where she became interested in birth defects. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a relatively common birth defect that results in a high rate of neonatal illness or death. Her work is bringing us closer to understanding CDH. Providing trainees with an educational environment that fosters the development of young researchers ultimately benefits our children. Meet Mason, and see how supporting subspecialty training can be priceless.
Gifts to our Education Endowment support various programs. The Strong Children’s Research Center provides a summer experience for undergraduate students, graduate, and medical students to work with and be guided by a researcher. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore research at a young age and develop skills to pursue a research field.
