Children may be born with a host of complex conditions affecting different parts of the body, including the skull, face, hands, extremities and torso. These children may also be impacted by injuries to the same areas in their young lives. As a result of these health conditions, pediatric patients may face a range of medical and social concerns throughout their lives and well into adulthood, demanding the highest level of longitudinal and holistic care.
