Megan & Ross Maenius are parents to Mila and patient advocates at Children's Medical Center Dallas. They have an incredible story to tell about their child's journey that may help the next time you are caring for a patient with chronic medical complexity in the pediatric ICU.

Erin Gordon, D.O. is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at University of Texas Southwestern and an intensivist in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. Dr. Gordon is the medical director of the inpatient developmental care program and directly involved in creating an environment that fosters the growth and development of the congenital heart disease population, including parental mental health and resilience. Her passion for patient and family advocacy has led to her desire to bring a louder voice to the concept of a “primary” intensivist.
