It’s American Heart Month! Meet Nancy Drucker, MD, a pediatric cardiologist at the UVM Children’s Hospital. She has been with us for 28 27 years! Her primary focus during that time has been on caring for patients with cardiac defects, the #1 congenital abnormality. One of the many reasons Nancy chose to stay at the UVM Children’s Hospital is her dedicated and knowledgeable team of nurses, sonographers, social work and administrative staff who she describes as "Good people who work hard and go above and beyond for the patients."
Nancy believes in helping her patients for the long-term, especially as they transition out of pediatrics. "Longevity is our goal. Our outlook is to help our patients live a long, healthy life, not just get them through childhood. " Nancy is trained in pediatric and adult cardiology, a boon to her patients making the transition to adult cardiology.
Nancy spends her time outside of the UVM Children’s Hospital working with pediatric cardiology colleagues from the New England Congenital Cardiology Association on several regional projects a year. Nancy is making a difference not just in the world of cardiology, but in the lives of our patients and families – and we are proud to have her on our team.
Woot! We love having Dr. Drucker in the Children’s Specialty Center! 💕
She’s the best !!
She is the best! 💙💙💙
We love Dr. Drucker!
LOVE Dr. Drucker!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
