Children's Surgery International's Board of Directors consists of 11 individuals who represent an array of professional sectors from medicine to business. We believe such variety in expertise helps CSI maintain its versatility as an organization, and allows us to consider various aspects of our growth and development as we strive to, essentially, "work ourselves out of a job."
