Meet 2016-17 Georgia Champion Olivia!

Numerous doctors have said Olivia is not a “textbook case” because her medical issues are very unusual. Olivia’s list of illnesses is extensive, including multiple congenital heart defects, a bleeding disorder, liver disease, an enlarged spleen, Noonan syndrome, two brain aneurysms and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Despite needing life-long care, Olivia’s prognosis is great. She responds well to treatments and lives an active life with a smile and a positive spirit.

Olivia loves to sing and make up songs. She doesn’t let her diagnoses hold her back from pursuing her dreams and passion for musical theater. In true Olivia fashion, her favorite saying is “It’s on like Donkey Kong!”

How donations helped Olivia at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta:  

CMN Hospitals donations have supported the hospital’s cardiac services, which benefited Olivia. Her family and doctors believe she would not be alive today without the services and medical advancements achieved through cardiac research to improve post-surgery implications, all made possible through contributions.
