Spring break means sunshine, water, and family time. Keep these water safety tips in mind before jumping in:

☀️ Assign a water watcher — One adult focused only on supervising swimmers.
☀️ Check conditions — Watch for weather changes, currents, or uneven surfaces.
☀️ Stay hydrated — Sun and water activities can lead to dehydration quickly.
☀️ Floaties aren’t safe — Always ensure children are actively supervised around water.

Wishing everyone a safe and fun spring break!

Meet Quan. ❤️

Quan is 12 years old and has spent much of his childhood living with kidney disease. For over a year, he has slept connected to a dialysis machine for nine hours each night, showing strength and resilience far beyond his years.

Through it all, Quan continues to find joy in the little things, from visits with his favorite therapy dog, Goldie, to writing heartfelt notes to his care team about one simple wish: to feel like a normal kid.

This World Kidney Day, we celebrate Quan’s courage and shine a light on the life-changing impact of living organ donation.

Happy Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day! 🍎✨

Food is more than fuel. It is healing, comfort, and a powerful step toward better health. Today we celebrate the incredible Registered Dietitian Nutritionists who help our patients turn everyday meals into tools for recovery, strength, and lifelong wellness.

From the bedside to the cafeteria to community education, our nutrition team brings expertise, compassion, and creativity to every plate they touch. They help patients make informed choices, build healthier habits, and feel supported along the way. 😉

Thank you for the care, knowledge, and heart you pour into nourishing our community every single day. 💙

On World Birth Defects Day, we celebrate the strength of children born with craniofacial differences and the families who support them.

At our Cleft and Craniofacial Team’s annual picnic, kids get to do what they do best: be kids. They run, play, dance, get their faces painted, and proudly declare it the “best day ever.”

For many families, the day means even more. It’s a place where children are met with understanding, parents connect with others on a similar journey, and new friendships begin.

One very special guest was Leo, a certified therapy dog with a cleft lip who is part of the care team. Families lined up for photos with him, a sweet reminder that differences can be powerful and beautiful.

Because every child deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and free to play. 💙

Before most of us finish our morning coffee, Barbie is already planning how to make someone’s hospital day a little brighter. ✨

At Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, no two days look the same, but they all center around one thing: helping patients feel prepared, supported, and brave.

From walking families through procedures to creating moments of normalcy in the middle of treatment, Barbie meets each child where they are and helps turn uncertainty into confidence.

Because sometimes healing looks like medicine… And sometimes it looks like play. ❤️

Watch this Day in the Life to see the heart behind Child Life and the impact it has far beyond the bedside.

On March 1, the Memorial Cancer Institute proudly served as the Health and Wellness Sponsor for the American Lung Association’s Fight for Air Climb. The event raised awareness for lung cancer and other lung diseases while bringing the community together.

Participants climbed the stadium seat stairs inside the ballpark, offering a powerful simulation of the physical challenges faced by individuals living with breathing difficulties. The experience served as both a meaningful tribute and a reminder of the importance of lung health.

Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital supported the event as the Future Climbers Kid Zone Sponsor, where young participants enjoyed hands-on activities, including building lungs out of LEGO pieces as an engaging way to promote awareness and education among families.

Commissioner Violet Lowry was also in attendance, volunteering at the climbers’ check-in area and demonstrating her commitment to supporting community health initiatives.

Together, the event highlighted the strength, resilience, and unity of our community in the fight against lung disease. Bella Mendez, APP for Dr. Hunis was interviewed by channel 10 today at the ALA Fight for Air Climb. 🫁
