The leaders of this group are Drs. Karen and Christian Hardy, directors of Children's Pulmonology and Cardiology Departments, respectively. While in Beijing Dr. Christian Hardy will visit with and examine WenWen Wang, who lives in China but was treated at Children's Hospital Oakland in 1999 for severe congenital heart problems. Dr. Hardy will also meet with WenWen's physician, who is continuing her treatment in China. WenWen and her family's airfare to the United States was made possible through the generosity of Southwest Airlines and Asiana airlines, who are also helping with transportation for the team who is going to China in March.
Small changes can make an enormous difference and save thousands of lives.
