When baby James became seriously ill with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), his mother trusted her instincts and rushed him to MidHudson Regional Hospital. There, compassionate caregivers and expert pediatric care helped James through a frightening diagnosis and gave his family the greatest gift—hope.
“Raising a family teaches you that nothing is more important than the health of your children,” Devyn shares. “Philanthropy ensures that all families have access to the highest quality care and we are incredibly grateful to the donors who make this level of care possible. I saw the impact firsthand and cannot imagine where we would be without it.”
Today, James is thriving, and his parents are forever grateful to those who made his healing possible. Your support helps ensure every child has access to high-quality care, close to home, when it matters most.
