When An Emergency Allergic Reaction Took Her Daughter To The ER

When Jaime’s 12-year-old daughter, Chloe, had an allergic reaction, she arrived in a panic at Stamford Hospital’s Pediatric Emergency Department. The team observed and cared for Chloe during her hours-long stay before being cleared to return home.

“I moved here with no contacts, lifelines, or family. (Stamford Health) makes being in a community without this network so much better and makes me feel safe and secure,” Jaime said. “(I feel as though Stamford Health) truly looks out for my family’s and my well-being.”
