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.
