What You Need To Know

The Megan Schulman Memorial Foundation, dedicated to commemorating the life of New Jersey native Megan Schulman, generously pledged support to establish The Megan Schulman Pediatric Vascular Anomalies Clinic at K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital.

The Megan Schulman Pediatric Vascular Anomalies Clinic at K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital will cater to a spectrum of conditions, from common birthmarks to rare tumors and is comprised of a multidisciplinary team which includes specialists in pediatric surgery, pediatric hematology and pediatric cardiology, as well as radiology, orthopedic surgery and nursing. 

Megan Schulman's legacy serves as a testament to resilience and empathy. Despite battling the rare congenital condition Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS), affecting just one in 100,000 people worldwide, Megan's vibrant spirit, intellect and generosity left a lasting impact on all who knew her.  Growing up in Freehold, NJ, Megan was driven by a passion for academics, sports, community service and philanthropy.  Her untimely passing in March 2021, at the age of 23, inspired the creation of the Megan Schulman Memorial Foundation.

Families coping with pediatric vascular anomalies often face emotional and logistical challenges. This clinic will provide close-to-home treatment options and support services through a dedicated nurse navigator who will assist families in navigating the health care system, managing their child's condition and accessing necessary resources. This holistic approach ensures that families are equipped to handle the complexities associated with their child's health care journey.

Dr. Scerbo and Dr. Kayton will be guest speakers at the Megan Schulman Memorial Foundation’s Inaugural Gala on Wednesday, March 20. The event begins at 6 p.m. and will be held at the prestigious Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club in Farmingdale, NJ.
