International Business Development Specialist Claudia Flores-Smith knew her 14-year-old son Camilo, who is an athlete, was in good hands when he was treated at our hospital as a baby for a stroke that later led to cerebral palsy. Claudia’s trust in our doctors laid the foundation for the ongoing support Camilo has received throughout his medical journey here.
Every step of Camilo’s progress has been fueled by the relentless dedication of our physicians, therapists and exercise specialists from the Texas Children’s The Woodlands Motion Analysis and Human Performance Laboratory. Thanks to their expert care, he’s able to do what he loves most —playing sports— in hopes of one day competing in the Paralympics.
“I felt grateful to be part of the team at Texas Children’s,” Claudia said. “I have been working here for 27 years. As a mother, it was very comforting to know that Camilo was being seen by our doctors, by Texas Children’s doctors, who are the very best doctors in the nation.”
