Dominic Sansone, 8, helped cut the ribbon on a new outpatient pediatric burn clinic in Charleston, MUSC reported. He survived severe burns after months of care at MUSC, including time on ECMO, a machine that takes over for the heart and lungs. The clinic, described as state of the art, is set to open in January 2027, so the ribbon cutting comes before patients are seen there. His father said, "He's home, running around doing kid stuff." The opening ahead is January 2027. The boy at the ribbon is already home.
