The Circle of Friends support group is available for parents and family members of the children who visit our clinic. The group meets informally to share support, concerns and resources. Circle of Friends also helps to raise funds to cover special purchases for the patients of the clinic -- such as holiday parties, books and games for the waiting room and other special needs.
