"No family expects violence to become part of their story, but we see every day how deeply these injuries affect children, families and communities," said David Biggerstaff, president of Riley Children's Health. "As Indiana's leading pediatric health system, we have an opportunity and responsibility to support healing beyond the hospital walls. This program is designed to meet young people and their families where they are, provide hope and connection, and help break cycles of violence."

Three heart transplants in about two weeks. Three children given new possibilities.
For a team that typically performs six to 10 heart transplants in an entire year, the extraordinary stretch brought together heart surgeons, transplant specialists and cardiovascular intensive care teams at Riley Children’s Health to deliver highly complex, lifesaving care.
It’s a powerful example of the world-class care and innovation available to Indiana families, and the expertise and teamwork required to care for some of our most complex patients.
For Makenzie and Greyson, that expertise means something even bigger: the opportunity to begin new chapters with healthy, beating hearts.
