Dr. Morales first discovered Hampton Roads in the 1990's when she was a pediatric resident in New York. She had family here, loved the area’s rich cultural diversity and heard wonderful things about CHKD. She hoped this would be the place she would one day settle.

Now, 20 years later, she feels fortunate to have accomplished that goal.
