Gavin Miller of Charlotte, Michigan visited Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children to see Dr. Harry Kim, the Director for Center for Excellence in Hip, for the ongoing treatment of his Perthes disease.

Miracle Flights, which provides children and their families free flights to distant and specialized care, flew Gavin and his mother to Dallas. Gavin was also able to see his “hometown hero” Cooper Rush with the Dallas Cowboys play in the team’s first preseason home game. Rush is also a native of Charlotte, Michigan and has followed Miller’s medical journey.
