Rady’s CHARGE Center

Funds raised at the CHARGE into the Future Gala will go towards starting a CHARGE Syndrome Center at Rady Children’s Hospital. This Center will be hugely beneficial to children diagnosed with this complex genetic condition. CHARGE Syndrome causes a multitude of medical and developmental issues that are linked with each other, thereby requiring services from a long list of specialists. The CHARGE Center will bring the multidisciplinary care of a CHARGE Syndrome child under one roof, alleviating the heavy load on parents to coordinate care and interpret complicated medical information.

CHARGE Syndrome (CS) is an extremely complex genetic syndrome with a known pattern of birth defects. Babies with CS are often born with life-threatening conditions such as congenital heart defects. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo numerous surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing, breathing problems, hearing loss, vision loss, and balance impairment make life difficult and cause developmental and communication delays. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CS that receive appropriate comprehensive care, can surpass medical, physical, educational, and social expectations. 

What is CHARGE Syndrome?

“The CHARGE Center will act as a blueprint for other genetic conditions and syndromes, reaching a large population of medically complex children in San Diego and throughout the West Coast.”

— Dr. Daniella Carvalho, M.D., M.M.M.
