tiene
• Why did I want to Do my Specialty
Concentration for Spanish Speaking
Families?
Epilepsia
Because I believe that empowering families
as they learn new languages and cultures
is a human service that We as a Rich

provide to the needy and to the fragile…
as they attend to their child with
Special Health Care Needs…
