Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 22, 2017 – Madison Gatlin is a “medical miracle” who has defied doctors’ expectations ever since she was born with a rare condition that causes lymphatic fluid to swell in her arms and upper body. Madison and her mother Joni Gatlin appeared on the national TV show The Doctors to share Madison’s successes—including learning to walk—and some of the challenges the family is facing. Hanger Clinic, along with manufacturing partner Barton Carey, collaborated with The Doctors to surprise Madison and Joni with custom compression garments, which will help Madison thrive as she grows.
