Our Values

“Many things we need can wait, the child cannot. Now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, his mind is being developed. To him we cannot say tomorrow, his name is today.”  Gabriela Mistral, Nobel prize winner and Chilean poet. 

The work of the Dr. Richard R. O’Toole Pediatric Fund begins with one simple premise:  No woman would willingly or intentionally harm her developing fetus.
