Mavis Fernando, MSN, APRN, CPNP-AC/PC
After beginning my nursing career at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and spending five rewarding years in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU), I realized my desire to expand my impact in pediatric care. In 2023, I completed my degree in Pediatric Acute and Primary Care at the University of California, Los Angeles. My work alongside the cardiothoracic surgery team has deepened my passion for supporting children in their recovery after heart surgery. I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such dedicated and skilled colleagues in this meaningful work.
