Inside Indiana's Most Advanced Children's Hospital | Dr. Mustafa & Meghan Freeman, Riley Children's Foundation

On today's show I learned about the remarkable work being done at Riley Children's Health and Riley Children's Foundation with Dr. Mustafa and Meghan Freeman, assistant vice president of marketing and communications.

Our discussion delves into life-saving fetal surgeries performed at Riley, the comprehensive care provided by the hospital, and the foundation's $300 million campaign 'Every Child Deserves Riley.'

Dr. Mustafa shares her journey from Iraq to Indiana, her specialized work in fetal surgery, and the support systems that make these advanced procedures possible.

Meghan elaborates on the foundation's role in funding cutting-edge research, programs like Camp Riley, and initiatives addressing the youth mental health crisis.
