The Carrs are longtime supporters of Valley Children’s. Derek and Heather Carr established DC4KIDS in 2015, two years after the birth of their first child, Dallas. He was born with potentially life-threatening congenital anomaly of his intestines. Dallas was rushed into emergency surgery at Valley Children’s. He underwent two more surgeries and spent 23 days in Valley Children’s Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the highest level of care available for neonates and infants between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Today, Dallas is a healthy, rambunctious preschooler.
David and Melody Carr are also advocates for Valley Children’s. Our pediatric specialists in Bakersfield care for three of their four children, who have type 1 diabetes. Valley Children’s has one outpatient center in Bakersfield – 34th Street Specialty Care Center. Construction is already underway for a second location – Eagle Oaks Specialty Care Center, set to open in the fall of 2018.
The DC4KIDS campaign intended to fund the most immediate needs at Valley Children’s. DC4KIDS helps Valley Children’s Healthcare meet the needs of the more than 1.3 million children who live throughout Central California. To date, DC4KIDS has raised more than $400,000 for Valley Children’s.
