Dana Chang foundation lecture

Dear supporters and friends,

We are excited to introduce a new lecture series supported by the Dana Chang Foundation, in collaboration with Boston Children’s Hospital.

The inaugural lecture will take place on January 28 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at the Folkman Auditorium at Boston Children’s Hospital. We would be delighted if you could join us in person to connect, learn, and honor Dana’s memory. Validated hospital parking is available at the 2 Blackfan Street Patient and Family Garage.

This lecture is held in honor of Dana Chang and will focus on her medical condition, along with current evaluation and management strategies. It also marks the launch of the Dana Chang Foundation’s awareness and education initiative, aimed at informing pediatricians and the public about congenital coronary anomalies.

For those unable to attend in person, the lecture will be available via Zoom and recorded for later viewing.

About the Speaker:

We are honored to welcome Dr. Julie Brothers from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She will present:

“Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery (AAOCA): Evaluation and Management in the Current Era.”

Dr. Brothers is the Medical Director of the Coronary Anomaly Management Program at CHOP, a key contributor to the multi-institutional AAOCA Registry, and the lead author of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery Expert Consensus Guidelines on AAOCA management.

We hope you can join us in person or online. Your participation helps honor Dana and advance awareness of congenital coronary anomalies.

With warm regards,
June and John
Dana Chang Foundation

Great photos of the BLAST (Bridge to liberal art Success at Tufts) trip out to Chester Mass to visit the historic Chester train station and the keystone arch bridges! Thanks to Dave Pierce and James Higby for being our trail guides and James for a great GIS presentation. Thanks to my sister and brother-in-law Missy and Gino Tedesco for helping to get the kids to the trailhead and for all the cooking they did for the barbecue at the end of the day. And thanks to my wife Colleen, and my mother and father-in-law Claire and Bruce Cooper for all the cooking they did to make the barbecue a success! Claire whipped up some delicious desserts, Miriam Proctor Tedesco was in the blue caboose putting together no less than four different kinds of salads/sides and Bruce and Gino Tedesco were on the grills!
