| There is NO treatment / cure for MHE now, but research is starting to make great progress into understanding the etiology of MHE. Researchers are just at the point where together with the support of this event and others, they can make major inroads toward better diagnosis, treatment and a cure possible. |

Scott Kozin graduated from Duke University in 1982 with a degree in computer science. Medical School was
completed at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia, followed by orthopedic residency at Albert Einstein
Medical Center. Fellowship was completed in 1992 at the Mayo Clinic focusing on hand and microvascular
surgery. Dr. Kozin initially cared for adults and children until the year 2000, when he devoted his practice and
research to children at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia. Since that time, he has been an
advocate for improving the lives of children via research, education, and patient care. Currently Chief of Staff
at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia, he has published over 100 peer review papers, mainly on
the care of children with various diagnoses including brachial plexus injury, spinal cord injury, and congenital
differences. He routinely travels to developing countries to operate on children in need. Dr. Kozin received
the Weiland Metal by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand in 2010, which honors a hand
surgeon/scientist who has contributed a body of research that advances the field. Dr. Kozin was president of
the American Society for Surgery of the Hand 2014. He implemented the Touching Hands Project to foster
hand care around the globe with a focus on developing and underserved countries. The mission statement
reads “Creating opportunities for hand specialists to give back their knowledge and expertise to the global
community.” The augural mission to Haiti occurred in 2014 and additional missions to other countries are
scheduled for 2015 and beyond.
Since meeting Dr. Kozin in 2001, he has been and continues to be a leader in the care of children with MHE.
He is the most compassionate and caring individual who is always available and willing to advise parents on
the care of their child. Dr. Kozin believes that “no child should be left behind” and that each and every child
is front and center. As there is no cure for MHE and these kids require so many surgeries, Dr. Kozin is always
there following up on their progress and making sure that mom is okay too! Dr. Kozins’ goal is to care for our
children in the very best way possible and assist with the progress of the development of a treatment for
MHE. At orthopedic conferences around the world, he is always advocating for our cause in each in every way
possible by presenting and teaching young orthopedic surgeons how to care for our kids. As long as we have
doctors like Dr. Kozin caring for our children, MHE will hopefully soon be a thing of the past.
Dr. Kozin is a devoted husband and father to his two children, Bryan and Samantha. During his leisure time,
he enjoys travel, food, and mountain biking.
