WVU Doctor Wins International Award
WEST VIRGINIA....
A physician at West Virginia University’s Children’s Hospital is one of only three people to win an international award this year from the Children’s Miracle Network.
Dr. Robert Gustafson is the chief surgeon at WVU’s Children’s Hospital and the chief of pediatric heart surgery.
He’s been at WVU for more than 25 years, and his work fixing the smallest of hearts has earned him this year’s Children’s Miracle Achievement Award.
It recognizes people who have made a commitment to improving children’s health.
Gustafson says he’s humbled by the honor.
Along with performing heart surgery, Gustafson also operates on infants’ respiratory systems.
