Empowering Families Facing a Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) Diagnosis If you have a child or adult family member with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, or BWS, then you know just how challenging it can be. To provide patients with BWS and their families with medical and emotional support, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital began hosting the Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) Patient & Family Conference.
Nicklaus Children's Hospital's Heart Institute has successfully performed an innovative pulmonary heart valve repair utilizing a complex and unique technique known as the Ozaki procedure, becoming the first known pediatric program in the state of Florida to do so and among only a select group of pediatric health systems globally.
Nicklaus Children's Hospital's Heart Institute, a world-recognized leader in heart innovation, is now offering bedside transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closures for medically fragile newborns. This new offering brings advanced therapy directly to the neonatal intensive care unit, allowing procedures to be performed within the baby's own isolette or crib.
