UI Stead Family Children's Hospital 2022 Kid Captain: Dylan McGivern

When Dylan wasn’t meeting developmental milestones for his age, his local pediatrician referred him to University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the pediatric neuromuscular clinic. Doctors here diagnosed both Dylan and his younger brother with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a condition that causes progressive muscle deterioration. Dylan and his family participate in clinical trials to further research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
