    PHF California State Director Kim Ruiz, and her son Joey, were featured in the Stockton Record.

    Read the full story by Joe Goldeen: For most people, raising two boys alone – one of whom has a medical condition that can turn ugly at any time – would be enough of a challenge. But for Ruiz, a third-generation Tracy resident, sharing her experiences and easing the burdens on other families with hydrocephalus children comes naturally.

    Thanks to the assistance she has received from her own supportive parents, Ruiz has agreed to become the California’s first state director of the nonprofit Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation Inc., a 3-year-old national organization based in Iselin, N.J., with the goal of raising awareness of this incurable brain condition and providing support to the families and children who are diagnosed with hydrocephalus.
