Brachial Plexus Center Families Share Experiences
The Brachial Plexus Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is changing the outcomes for our brachial plexus patients and their families. As part of our belief in the compassionate, respectful family-centered care of every patient and family, we understand the best assurance and support for families comes from stories shared by families in similar situations.
