Meet Ava! 💜

Ava is a brave, kind-hearted and resilient girl who loves colouring, crafting and listening to Disney music.

Last week, students in grades three and four at Wîhkwêntôwin School presented their visions for the new Stollery Children’s Hospital – one built for kids, by kids. The future of kids’ health care was designed in bright colours, bold ideas – and a whole lot of heart.

This project started as a simple fundraiser led by Stollery mom and teacher, Kara Weis, but evolved to give young people a voice in shaping the spaces meant to care for them.

Sometimes the best ideas come from kids with crayons, big imaginations and the belief that even the toughest places can feel a little more like home. 💜

Last week, Stollery mom, Shirley, chatted with our friends at Global Edmonton about how your The Stollery Mighty Millions ticket supports kids like her son, Elijah.

Shirley and her family live in Calgary, but when Elijah was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect while in utero, the Stollery was the only children's hospital nearby that offered the complex medical care he would need once he was born.

On this month’s Spotlight on the Stollery, Shirley sat down with our friends at Global to talk about how your support makes a difference.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dianne Young, the first President and CEO of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation (1999-2007).

Dianne’s leadership, vision and unwavering commitment helped shape the early foundation of the Stollery and the impact it continues to have on children and families across Alberta and beyond. Her passion for building something truly special will be felt for generations.

We are grateful for the legacy she leaves behind — one rooted in compassion, community and a belief that every child deserves the very best care.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Dianne’s family, friends and all those who had the privilege of working alongside her.

More patients are being seen and wait times are decreasing, thanks to your support.

You helped purchase a fetal echo ultrasound machine for the Stollery Children's Hospital's Fetal & Neonatal Cardiology Program at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, which now runs more efficiently.

They now have two machines that are capable of scanning early fetal gestational age patients with clearer imaging, more ability to see these patients without a long wait and they can run an additional room if needed.

With the clinic running more productively, there can be more engagement from their fellows in the post-scan counselling, which boosts their skills in this area and creates a positive impact to patient care.

Introducing Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation volunteer, Lorraine! 👋

Lorraine has been volunteering with the Foundation for one year and when she’s not working at daycare, she enjoys creating different things in her craft room! She also loves travelling, hiking, going to the driving range and spending time with family and friends.

Let’s learn a bit about Lorraine!

What is your favourite event to volunteer for? 📅

Stollery Superstars Party! It’s so nice to see all the young fundraisers and it warms my heart that the Foundation does something special for all their great achievements.

What has been your most impactful volunteer experience? 💜

Volunteering for the Giving Comfort program. Although we’re not working directly with kids or families, I know the kits we put together are going to a family who needs it. I think it’s a really nice gesture so that Stollery families can focus on being there for their child in a time of need.

Thank you for all that you do to support Stollery kids, Lorraine!
