Good Afternoon,

I am interested in being a member of your Family Advisory Board, if you think I could be an asset and helpful contributor.

My son Gavin(Caron), has been a patient and under the care of the Lucile Packard Hospital for over 17 years. Born with a congenital heart defect, Gavin has been seen 2 to 3 times a year for the past 17 years to monitor his progress and he has stayed at the hospital 2 times when intervention procedures were required. We have traveled from the Truckee, Lake Tahoe, now Reno area for every visit. Gavin is now 19 and scheduled for open heart surgery in June. He will return to the Children's hospital vs the Adult hospital for his surgery. His experiences and ours might offer some unique perspective.

If you agree and would like to discuss further, you can reach me at 248-505-8383.
Kindly,
Jennifer Frechette-Caron
