The 140 guests had the opportunity to mingle over cocktails and during the seated dinner with pediatric subspecialty physicians affiliated with Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Three muskateers for CMHH — Christine Falgout, Melissa Juneau and Rachel Regan — chaired the evening making this the third event the trio of influential moms has helmed for CMHH in seven months.
