Cruz's Story of Extraordinary Pediatrics for Extraordinary Children

By U-M Northville Health

Cruz had his first surgery just five days after he was born. Having a congenital heart condition meant a few surgeries for this C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital patient. Now, at nearly four years of age, Cruz is a bundle of energy looking at a quality life ahead. He loves playing outside, swimming and most especially baseball.

Being from Canton, Cruz is just one of the local C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital patients who has the option to see pediatric specialists closer to home with doctors from the Congenital Heart Center now seeing patients at the new Northville Health Center.

The new U-M Northville Health Center is home to an array of world-class specialty care. On the second floor, behind a playful green and blue glass wall, families have access to more than a dozen pediatric specialty services, from Allergy testing to follow up with pediatric surgeons.

Specialists at the Congenital Heart Center who cared for Cruz will be seeing patients at the U-M Northville Health Center, now open to offer specialty care for the whole family including women’s and children’s services. Conveniently located at 7 Mile and Haggerty Roads. Learn more at uofmhealth.org/Northville or call (248) 305-4400.
