Moments like these remind us that patient family relationships built at CHKD last far beyond a hospital stay. ❤️

Nearly 20 years after his cancer diagnosis in 2006, Ian recently reunited with the physician his family calls “Superman,” Dr. Eric Lowe. While attending a retreat at the Sanderling Resort, Dr. Lowe stopped by Roadside Bar & Grill in Duck, NC, where Ian now works as a chef!

We’re proud to be part of Ian’s journey and grateful for physicians like Dr. Lowe who leave a lifelong impact on the patients and families they serve.

Meet Thomas. 💪

Since birth, Thomas has faced complex medical challenges, including a genetic condition that causes frequent respiratory infections, and Poland syndrome and pectus excavatum – both chest wall conditions. Over the years, he’s received comprehensive care from many CHKD specialists, helping him stay healthy and active.

When Thomas’ pectus excavatum became severe, CHKD’s internationally recognized Nuss Center took a customized surgical approach to correct his chest wall and provide additional stability. After surgery, Thomas noticed major improvements: easier breathing, better balance, increased strength, and a big boost in confidence.

Today, he's thriving and shares thanks to CHKD for feeling better than ever. Read Thomas' full CHKD story at bit.ly/3XpdYPd.
