Dr. Kate Hersov was a Pediatrician with a problem that would take some Super Heroes to solve. She was working in New Zealand with children who had difficult health situations and no way to explain what they needed to know – on their level. She was very frustrated that she didn’t have any information to give her young patients. A moment of inspiration came when she was explaining a patient’s cancer diagnosis to an 11-year old’s parents when the patient called out the adults for not having information for him. So Dr. Hersov became a “Doctor-preneur”  and the MediKidz Super Heroes were born.
