In honor of American Heart Month, Dr. Daniel Velez, our Cardiac Surgery Division Chief and Co-Director of the Phoenix Children's Heart Center, wants to share an important message with our community ... in Spanish! Here is the video transcript translated into English: February is American Heart Month and according to the American Heart Association, an estimated 40,000 babies are born each year with congenital heart defects, and about one in four has a critical congenital heart defect that requires surgery within a year. But historically, many babies leave their birth hospitals with their heart defect undiagnosed and therefore miss their window for surgery. Here at Phoenix Children's Heart Center – we’re here for you…and your little one’s heart. Happy Heart Month! http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQsUR

Have you heard of the book turned movie “Wonder?” The story follows 10-year-old Auggie as he faces bullying at school because he has facial abnormalities due to a condition called Treacher Collins Syndrome. “Wonder” promotes kindness and acceptance for all in the face of adversity. Phoenix Children’s is honored to host Dr. Michael Goodman on Wednesday, February 21st at the Melvin C. Cohen Center in partnership with Riley Childrens Health. We welcome school-aged children and families to come see Dr. Goodman speak about his personal life experiences having the same condition as the character Auggie in the movie “Wonder.” His story teaches children to be sensitive and kind to those around you; reminding that everyone is fighting their own battle. We hope you can join us for this very special event! To register, visit: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQUV9

We would like to congratulate a Phoenix Children's founding father on his retirement! The end of 2017 marked the retirement of David H. Beyda, MD, Division Chief of Pediatric Intensive Care for 35 years. Among all his contributions, Dr. Beyda has been a colleague, leader, researcher, humanitarian and teacher to so many at Phoenix Children’s, including medical students, residents, fellows and other faculty members—all while continuing to treat critically ill children on local and international levels. Our staff has Dr. Beyda to thank for so much of our Hospital’s success, and for setting the standard in giving tremendous patient care. We wish Dr. Beyda every happiness in his retirement and next chapter.
