Who We Are

Elijah’s Pediatric Advocacy Foundation was born from our son Elijah’s tragic journey through a healthcare system that lacked transparency and failed to uphold patient safety standards.

We advocate for healthcare transparency, patient safety, and the inclusion of family voices in pediatric care, not as obstacles, but as essential partners.

Through our mission, we aim to turn our grief into action by ensuring that no family face the pain, suffering, confusion, and silence that we experienced.
