💙 February is Recreational Therapy Month 💙

This month, we recognize the important role recreation and adaptive sports play in supporting children’s physical, emotional and social well-being. Opportunities like adaptive sports programs and inclusive recreational activities help patients build strength, confidence and independence, all while doing what kids do best: having fun.

At Shriners Children’s Erie, participation in programs such as the Shriners Jammers wheelchair basketball team and the Mighty Otters sled hockey team helps make recreational experiences accessible and meaningful for our patients. These programs encourage teamwork, resilience and connection, creating opportunities that extend far beyond the game.

Through play, participation and adaptive recreation, children gain skills that support a lifetime of confidence and belonging. 💙

Say hello to Luca! 👋

Luca is an athletic 6-year-old who loves playing basketball, riding his bike and gaming. He has been a patient at Shriners Children’s Erie since he was just 9 months old and he keeps everyone on their toes!

You might spot Luca running up and down the Pediatric Orthotic and Prosthetic Services (POPS) hallway, testing out his new prostheses, flying through an obstacle course in physical therapy, or showing off one of his famous headstands. 🤸‍♂️ At his most recent POPS appointment, Luca was excited to show off one of his new legs, customized with his school’s mascot, Obie the Tiger! 🐯

We’re so proud to introduce Luca as a Shriners Children’s Erie Patient Ambassador and can’t wait to cheer him on as he keeps moving, playing and inspiring others every day.

For Savannah, finding support at Shriners Children’s Erie has made all the difference 💛

As a Patient Ambassador, Savannah appreciates that Shriners Children’s Erie tailors care to each child’s unique spinal curvature, offering guidance and reassurance every step of the way.

Savannah’s journey started long before her first visit. After experiencing shortness of breath at school, her family sought further evaluation. A chest X-ray revealed a significant spinal curve and her mom, Tracy, didn’t hesitate to call Shriners Children’s Erie. There, Savannah and her family finally found clarity and support.

Savannah shares, “No matter what your scoliosis journey looks like, they support your specific spinal curvature.”

At Shriners Children’s Erie, families receive personalized care, clear answers and a community that truly stands together.

Brrr—it’s getting extra cold out there! 🥶❄️ As temperatures drop in the coming days, remember to bundle up. Wear a warm hat and a scarf to cover your neck, choose a water-resistant coat, add gloves or mittens, layer up and don’t forget insulated, waterproof boots with warm socks.

Staying properly dressed can make all the difference in keeping little ones safe, warm and comfortable. Stay cozy out there!

For Savannah, care at Shriners Children’s Erie goes far beyond clinic visits 💛

As a Patient Ambassador, Savannah loves that Shriners Children’s Erie creates opportunities for families to connect outside of appointments, especially events like Shriners Day. Through these experiences, she’s met other patients and families and discovered something powerful: no one is facing scoliosis alone.

Under the care of Shriners Children’s Erie providers, they learned Savannah's curve measured 48 degrees, well beyond the point when bracing typically begins. Together, the team walked the family through every treatment option, starting with bracing and planning thoughtfully for what might come next.

At Shriners Children’s Erie, families are supported with personalized care, clear answers and a community that truly stands together.
