Meet Sophia Liriano, Queen of the Founder’s Krewe of 1955
Sophia Liriano is the star of a remarkable story 17 years in the making. Born with several heart defects, she had her first open-heart surgery at Children’s Hospital at 12 days old. And that was just the beginning. Through the years Sophia has had four open-heart surgeries, three stomach surgeries, and four hip and knee surgeries. She sees a team of pediatric specialists ranging from cardiologists and allergists/immunologists to gastroenterologists and hepatologists, to name a few. And she hasn’t let her extensive medical history upstage her determination to thrive. At Children’s Hospital and in life, Sophia is a leading lady. Loved and adored by her Children’s Hospital family, she is Queen of the Founder’s Krewe 1955. Founder’s Krewe of 1955 2023 Members |
