Rady Children's Hospital San Diego

Patient Stories

Our young patients inspire us each and every day. When faced with a chronic illness, they show courage.  When battling a life-threatening disease, they call upon their strength. When there are setbacks, they show resilience. And through it all -- and despite the many challenges -- they never give up hope.

We are proud to share these stories -- of life-changing and lifesaving care. Click on the links on the left to read about our amazing patients and families.
