Journal entry by Steve Van Wormer —
What a blessing today on the 3rd anniversary of Lucas’ passing to attend the UCSF Pediatric conference surrounded by the greatest minds on the planet (Docs, Nurses, Researchers) tackling pediatric disease. And when arguably the TOP PH DR. in the @dunbarivy and the amazing folks at the Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Network continue to name their innovative research trainee award after Lucas Van Wormer — my words of gratitude can’t due justice. So @mermaidvw @phaware and I will simply say THANK YOU. BLESS YOU for all that you do on behalf of families impacted by rare heart and lung disease. Congratulations to you, Michael Smith, MD and your entire research team on your novel insights on CHD associated PH! #hearts4lucas
