ST. LOUIS (AP) ? When Dr. Jan Brunstrom-Hernandez speaks to patients and their families at the Cerebral Palsy Center in St. Louis, her expertise comes both as a doctor and someone with cerebral palsy.
The 50-year-old doctor didn't set out to operate a pioneering clinic despite the lifelong challenges cerebral palsy had brought her. But when she discovered in the 1990s that care and treatment hadn't progressed much since her childhood, she eventually agreed to start the clinic at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
The center now treats cerebral palsy patients from around the world ? more than 2,000 children and adults since it opened in 1998. The benefit has been reciprocal: Brunstrom-Hernandez says her patients taught her to believe in herself.
