There are so many that make an indelible impression on our team, and AJ Donahue was certainly one of them. 💙

Even while being treated for cancer, AJ was focused on raising funds so that parents and caregivers would be more comfortable during their stay at the hospital. Last year, The AJ Donohue Foundation committed to investing $100,000 per year for the next three years to make our vision of the Wolfson Children's Courage Crew a reality.

This past week marked the 19th annual AJ Donahue Memorial Foundation Golf Tournament, and we were to show our support. Our hospital president, Allegra Jaros, was on hand to play a few holes in celebration of AJ’s legacy. The Courage Crew connects patients and families with similar circumstances with social and emotional support outside of the hospital, and both the Foundation and the tournament help make the program possible.

There was a great crowd for the tournament this year, and we have to think that AJ would be proud of the impact his generosity has made over the years!

🏆 🍪 THIS is how champions celebrate! 🍪 🏆

The "Wolfson Warrior Champions" claimed their spot as the top telethon team for The Wolfson Children's Challenge, raising over $22,000 in just one hour for Wolfson Children's Hospital.

Thank you to our hospital president, Allegra Jaros, for leading the charge — and to Don Wolfson, Dr. Louise Spierre, Dane Bennett, Dr. Phil Aldana, Erin Wolfson, Dr. Eduardo Novais, Dr. Anne Egan and Kimberly Jones for setting the pace and raising the bar. 💪

Because of you, our win. ❤️✨

❤️ Tiny heart meets BIG innovation ❤️

Elliana was born with a complex congenital heart defect and received a lifesaving hybrid procedure - just FIVE DAYS after birth! 🫀 ✨

Through a collaborative effort between Wolfson Children's Hospital and Nemours Children's Health, her physicians performed a groundbreaking hybrid procedure using a catheter-based approach in the pediatric cath lab - providing a lifesaving alternative when open-heart surgery wasn't an option.

This minimally invasive approach gave Elliana's heart time to strengthen and her pulmonary arteries time to develop. Though she still has another heart surgery in her near future, we continue to be inspired by her strength every single day. We'll continue to be cheering Elliana on through her entire heart journey. 💪 ❤️

The excitement continued across Wolfson Children’s Hospital today. ✨

As we begin our expanded clinical collaboration with Nemours — where they will cover additional inpatient and outpatient pediatric specialties at our hospital — leadership rounded throughout the building to share snacks, connect with teams and spread a little extra cheer.

This next chapter in pediatric care is made possible by the incredible people who care for children and families every day. We’re grateful, energized and ready for what’s ahead. Working together so kids do better. 💙

On Mother's Day last year, five-year-old Sammy suffered a stroke — and her mom's quick thinking saved her life. 💛🧠

What looked like a minor arm injury quickly became a race against time. When Sammy's mom noticed her daughter's speech had become "word salad" and she wasn't using one hand, she trusted her instincts and pushed for answers.

An MRI confirmed Sammy had suffered an ischemic stroke. She spent 10 days in the PICU and seven weeks in intensive rehabilitation — relearning how to speak, swallow, and move.

Today, Sammy is back in school and on track to finish first grade. 🎉

⚠️ Here's what her family wants every parent to know: strokes don't only happen to adults. Children can have them too, and the signs can be easy to miss.

Share this with a parent who needs to see it. And read Sammy's full story in the comments below.👇

🎉 Today marks an exciting new chapter in pediatric care in Northeast Florida. 🎉

As of today, Wolfson Children's Hospital and Nemours Children's Health are expanding our longstanding clinical collaboration — bringing even more pediatric specialty care close to home for the families we serve.

Beginning March 2026, Nemours physicians and advanced practice providers will care for patients in additional inpatient and outpatient specialties at Wolfson Children's, including:

❇️ Neonatology & Newborn Nursery Services
❇️ Pediatric Critical Care
❇️ Neurosurgery
❇️ Infectious Diseases
❇️ Rheumatology
❇️ Nephrology
❇️ Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
❇️ Palliative Care

Nemours will also expand access to care with new outpatient clinics opening soon across the region — including NICU follow-up and Medically Complex Care — followed by the launch of Genetics services in August 2026.

This expansion builds on a model our organizations have successfully delivered for decades across specialties such as general surgery, hematology/oncology, orthopedics, trauma surgery and urology — combining Wolfson Children’s role as the region’s only children’s hospital with Nemours Children’s national pediatric expertise.

By bringing together the strength of Northeast Florida’s only specialty children’s hospital with one of the nation’s largest pediatric health systems, we’re ensuring seamless, coordinated care for our — from clinic visits to hospitalization to ongoing treatment. 💪

We couldn’t be prouder to stand side by side — working together so kids do better. 💙

Today is 💙

We’re sending love to all those living with rare conditions — including our and some of this year’s honorees pictured here: Madie, Oscar, Camila, Isaac and Riley.

While each diagnosis may be uncommon, one thing is universal: extraordinary strength.

Every day, these children and their families show resilience, determination and a kind of courage that inspires us all. They remind us that what makes them different is also part of what makes them perfectly unique.

To every child living with a rare disease — you are more than a diagnosis. You are perfectly you — and your strength moves us forward every day. 💙

We truly enjoyed hosting Dr. Muhammad Dicky Hidayattullah all the way from Indonesia as part of his Jacksonville Travellers Fellowship grant from the Neurosurgery Outreach Foundation. 🧠

Dr. Hidayattullah worked on rotation within our neurology department and provided impactful care for our . It's been an honor having him at our hospital, and our commitment to advancing neurosurgical education around the world is stronger for having him at Wolfson Children's.

We’re going to miss Dr. Hidayatullah, but he made an impact on our team, and we hope we did the same for him! 💙💙

Sisterhood is sacred. 💙

When Sani’Yah and Rah’Niya were diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease and needed bone marrow transplants, they didn’t have to look far for a miracle. Their sisters, London and Lyn’Niyah, stepped forward without hesitation by donating bone marrow and saving their lives.

Through our long-standing partnership with Nemours Children's Health, the joint Sickle Cell Program at Wolfson Children's Hospital helped guide the Johnson family every step of the way.

“I’ve been with Wolfson Children’s and Nemours Children’s for 17 years, so they’re like family to me,” said their mother, Ericka Johnson. “They did everything to make sure my family was comfortable. Every need we had, it was taken care of.”

Today, Sani’Yah and Rah’Niya have a clean bill of health, which serves as a testament to courageous sisters, unwavering love and the power of compassionate care.

Because when family calls, sisters answer. 💙
