Patient Stories
Patients and Families Share Their Experiences
The Division of Neonatology at Cincinnati Children’s is changing the outcomes for our patients and their families. As part of our belief in the compassionate, respectful family-centered care of every patient and family, we understand that the best reassurance and support for our families comes from stories shared by others in similar situations.

Because of his fighting spirit and the comprehensive CDH care at Cincinnati Children’s, Robby survived. But he still faces huge challenges, and his care team will be with him every step of the way. |

Mia was born 12 weeks early. In her fragile state, Mia developed necrotizing enterocolitis, a devastating and often deadly bowel disease that strikes premature infants.
