Inspired by the determination and willpower of Margaret Hackett, the Margaret Hackett Family Center is dedicated to providing families, patients, and physicians with crucial information and research about CNS congenital anomalies, their treatments — and, ultimately, their cures.
Margaret's Story
Living with hydrocephalus and syringomyelia, Margaret and her family went searching for answers. A long, tiresome journey led them to find doctors and resources that helped Margaret — but they wanted to do more to help others with similar circumstances.
Resources For Families
Support Our Mission
Through a generous donation from the Margaret Hackett Family Center, the Margaret Hackett Family Program (MHFP) is available to help patients and families with CNS congenital anomalies navigate UChicago Medicine’s resources and establish collaborative communication between patients and their providers. The MHFP aims to provide well-rounded, compassionate patient care, resources in support of community and education for both patients and their families, and steps in advancing the research and recognition of CNS congenital anomalies.
