The Stand Up For Pits Foundation is thrilled to welcome Dr. Kim Carey as an official honorary board member of the SUFP Foundation! Kim was Angel’s surgeon for years, just did Sally’s knee surgery and one of very few medical professionals we trust and respect for surgical procedures in Los Angeles. We are honored to have her support and call her our friend.
