Say hello to our this week, Linda! 👋 Not only is Linda a patient of the Boston Adult Congenital Heart (BACH) Program at Boston Children’s Hospital, but she also works here at the Heart Center as a nurse practitioner in Cardiology Pre-Op and in the Vascular Ring and Airway Program!

Linda was born with and had surgery at Boston Children's when she was 4 months old and then again at 16 years old. After these experiences, she knew she wanted to be a pediatric nurse, and take care of patients the way the nurses had taken care of her! ❤️ Outside of work, she spends most of her time with her husband, her son, and their golden retriever 🐶 Your story is inspiring, Linda!
