Dr. Christa Grant is a Pediatric Surgeon at Penn State Children’s Hospital in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Her clinical interests include abd solid tumors, neonatal congenital anomalies, and chest wall deformities; her research focuses on the tumor microenvironment in Neuroblastoma.

Dr. Sheets will be greatly missed by countless in the UMMS family. I will always remember his laughter, his kindness, and his interest in everyone as a person. Years later he would always stop in the hallway to say hello and catch up. May he RIP. Thoughts are with his family.
