Celebrating 1 Year of Kayce at Mass General Brigham for Children! 🐾🎉
One year ago, we welcomed Kayce, our gentle and loving facility dog made possible through a grant from Dunkin' Joy In Childhood Foundation. Since then, he has brought comfort, confidence and joy to countless patients and families.

“When Kayce enters the room, the whole dynamic changes,” says his handler, Child Life Specialist Eva Mintz, MS, CCLS. From easing anxiety during procedures to helping kids take their first steps after surgery, Kayce has become an essential part of the care team.”

“He is truly part of the care plan for so many of our patients,” adds nursing director Lori Pugsley, RN, MEd, DNP, NEA-BC.
Thank you, Kayce, for a year filled with comfort, joy and endless tail wags. Here’s to many more!

Helping parents quit, one pediatric visit at a time.

A new study from Mass General Brigham and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia shows that automated smoking cessation support offered to parents during pediatric visits can reduce the number of ci******es they smoke and increase engagement with quit programs. Pediatric care isn’t just for kids. It can improve the health of the whole family. http://spklr.io/6185BK2JZ
