Join BIO's Chief Patient Advocate and Head of the Patient Advocacy Center of Excellence, Michele Oshman, for a fireside chat with author of "More Than We Expected: Five Years With a Remarkable Child", James G., Robinson.
James G. Robinson, author of the memoir MORE THAN WE EXPECTED (morethanamemoir.com), shares his experience as the father of a child born with serious congenital heart defects. Far from a tragedy, the story of their five years together reveals unexpected truths about what it means to live, grow and heal -- especially after a medical crisis left their family stranded halfway around the world, forcing them to find a way home. James' unique perspective on the privilege of parenting children with complex medical needs offers important lessons for medical professionals, researchers, and caregivers who have devoted their careers to helping children in similar circumstances.
Complimentary books available at the signing following the session. Book signing located on Level 2, NW Lobby.
