At the December 17 Rotary meeting, Alison Flynn Gaffney shared an inspiring example of advanced, life-saving care provided by Banner’s Fetal Care Center, as highlighted in a recent local news story. The article details how a Tucson family received specialized prenatal care after their unborn baby was diagnosed with a serious chest condition that threatened vital organs.Through early diagnosis and a complex fetal procedure performed before birth by Dr. Kenneth Liechty, pediatric and fetal surgeon, Banner’s multidisciplinary team was able to significantly improve the baby’s outcome. Gaffney emphasized the importance of having this level of highly specialized fetal care available locally, allowing families to stay close to home during critical moments.
