DC4KIDS

Derek and Heather Carr proudly support Valley Children’s Healthcare through their own very personal connection. They credit the pediatric specialists at Valley Children's for providing their son with life-saving care. Hours after their son, Dallas, was born in 2013, he was rushed into emergency surgery at Valley Children’s Hospital. Dallas was born with intestinal malrotation, a potentially life-threatening congenital anomaly that can cut off blood supply to the intestinal tract. Dallas underwent two more surgeries and spent 23 days in Valley Children’s Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the highest level of care available for neonates and infants between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. In 2016, they established the DC4KIDS program to help support the greatest needs of the patients and families that come through our doors every day. 
 

“Children are our most precious resource. We need to continue to advocate for the most vulnerable children to make sure that kids live in healthy communities where they live, learn and play. Your support through DC4KIDS helps to ensure that every child in the Central Valley has access to the best care possible.”

– Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints Quarterback and Valley Children's Ambassador
