Lynne and Bill Garbose describe how they felt when they found out their baby had a rare and fatal heart defect, and how that experience inspired them to support the development of a specialized birthing unit in a children's hospital.

The Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit (SDU) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) was the first birthing unit of its kind, designed specifically to meet the special needs of families expecting babies with a prenatally diagnosed birth defect. The ability to provide comprehensive care in one location for mothers carrying a baby with a known birth defect helped to fulfill the mission of specialists at CHOP seeking to offer complete care for unborn patients.
