Marina enrolled in Child Health Partnership when her oldest child was two years old and she was pregnant with her younger child. Soon after enrollment, her newborn was born prematurely and suffered a serious infection. Once the baby was discharged and stable, Marina focused on supporting her older child with speech development.

Marina’s calm demeanor is the basis upon which she has built and expanded her capacity as a parent during her time with Child Health. Initially, she was inundated with the health and developmental needs of her children. But Marina was able to find and use the resources available to her to solve problems and identify nurturing solutions to give her children what they needed to thrive. Every day, Marina is fulfilling her capacity to be a strong, capable, and forward thinking parent to her boys. Congratulations Marina!
