Imagine knowing your child has a medical problem before she is even born. Gracie's parents learned their daughter had a heart defect months before she was delivered, thanks to state-of-the-art care provided close to home.

At Levine Children's Hospital, which brings together years of experience and the latest technology, Sanger Clinic's pediatric cardiac team conducts more than 250 surgeries each year - more than any other medical facility in the region. Luckily, Gracie was born in a region where she would receive cutting edge care - before and after birth. She underwent her first surgery when she was just days old. In her four short years, she has endured three additional lifesaving heart operations. Her post-surgical care includes frequent checkups and monitoring, coordinated by a skilled team of cardiac specialists. Today, Gracie is keeping her high spirits and continues to heal each day. She is not only a "Daddy's little girl," but also a miracle.
