Two generations of CHOC heart families

Liam, age 20 months, and Anaya, age 5 months, are cousins who both happen to be CHOC heart patients. Learning that your child has a heart condition and might need surgery can be scary and stressful for any parent or caregiver. However, both Liam’s mom and Anaya’s mom – sisters Jasmine and Jennifer – were already familiar with CHOC’s Heart Institute, having been patients themselves.
