Gracie Doran

 I was honored to be able to share my story of survival on a healthcare panel at the White House on September 9, 2016.  My mission to advocate for Pediatric Stroke and disability awareness was highlighted on a panel with other survivors and advocates.  Moderated by the Secretary of Health, I was the youngest person featured on all of the panels.  Other panels featured the director of the National Institute of Health and many distinguished healthcare and government experts.
