Teen Health Mississippi

This has been a good, busy, and at times challenging year for Teen Health Mississippi (THMS).

Stanford Childrens

The thoughtful, gentle, yet self-determined teen simply wanted to do what teens do—be independent, get a job, play sports, and, most important, learn how to drive. “I just wanted to do things without having to worry that a seizure was going to ruin it,” says Isaac.
