Michael and Aleesha Klomp of Hanford are planning to travel to China, seeking stem cell therapy for their 2-year-old son Gryphon, who suffers from cerebral palsy. The treatment is not available in the United States, and some medical experts say the treatment is unproven at this point. But the Klomps say they are willing to try the treatment if it means a better life for their son. They have raised $50 thousand to make the trip.

The health care industries are some of the most recession proof jobs that are always available. Even in our current economic status , healthcare is still experiencing growth. There are also many options you can take when deciding on which field you would like to work in. You could be a medical call center specialist, a medical coder, a medical transcriptionist, etc All of these jobs you can work from the comfort of your own home
