POV: You’ve been here since day one… and you’re still feeling good 😎🎶

As we approach our 30th anniversary, this Doctors’ Day, we’re honoring the incredible physicians who helped build Connecticut Children’s from the very beginning—like Dr. Lapuk.

Happy Doctors’ Day to the originals (Drs. DiMario, Garrison, Hyams, Lapin, Lapuk, Weiss, & Wiley) and the physicians continuing that legacy today. 💖

For many families, pregnancy comes with unexpected risks.

Preeclampsia is one of them—a serious condition that can threaten the health of both mom and baby.

But what if we could treat it before it becomes dangerous?

We are celebrating Dr. Kristen Moriarty 👏 for being recognized by the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine for her innovative research.

With mentorship from Dr. Timothy Crombleholme, Director of Connecticut Children’s Fetal Care Center, she’s studying a new approach using placenta-targeted gene therapy to treat preeclampsia at its source - offering hope for safer, healthier pregnancies.

This is the power of collaboration and the next generation of physician-scientists 💖
