Brooke Cody and her family are as tight as families can be, so when their middle daughter began attending the University of North Florida, they packed up and moved from Texas to Jacksonville. With 12 years of experience in health care, nine of which were dedicated to the , Brooke was a natural fit for a position as a NICU physical therapist, where she has thrived since joining our team. Lucky for us, her connection has only grown - sparked by a friend from church who invited her to an event hosted by our Women’s Employee Resource Group (ERG). 💙

"I ended up going to the Women’s ERG event and loved what the speaker had to say and felt inspired to join this community of women. I ended up joining the Women’s and Christian ERGs.”

Brooke has made an impact on so many of our , and as the mother of three girls, she strives to lead by example and have her girls understand the importance of knowing their worth. 💪

“Women are often told they can't reach the same heights or achieve as much, simply because of longstanding gender bias. But it's essential to recognize your value. My husband and I make sure our girls know that they are important and that their voices matter. They have every right to be heard and to succeed.”

We wanted to share Brooke’s story not only in recognition of Women’s History Month, but to celebrate the impact women make every day. Brooke is making a difference in so many lives, and we have no doubt she’s inspiring not only her daughters but the next generation of health care professionals. 🩺

It’s not easy for kids to spend extended time in the hospital, but we have amazing friends like Art with a Heart in Healthcare to help like Marilyn. 💙

Marilyn is a huge Stranger Things fan, so Artists-in-Residence created a custom Upside Down design to decorate her medical halo. Marilyn has spent a lot of time creating art throughout her stay, and it's made a difficult time that much easier for her.

In addition to Art With a Heart, we have many outlets and playrooms where patients can express themselves creatively. A lot of the art they create will knock your socks off because they’re so very talented! 🎨

Please join us in saying congratulations to Casey from our on receiving the coveted DAISY Award for excellence in nursing! 🌼 🏆

Casey received her nomination from a colleague who saw firsthand how she shows up for patients when they need it most. The nomination was so long that we're only including an excerpt, but it certainly speaks to the caliber of care our patients receive from Casey. 💙

"I was so impressed with her going above and beyond to evaluate the patient not only physically and medically, but also emotionally and psychologically, and knowing when to ask for help. There have been other situations this month where I was impressed with how she communicates concerns with the patient or parents’ concerns to the team. If I were ever in the same position as the patient, I would want Casey as my nurse because I know she would fight for what's best for me, especially when I can't fight for myself."

Nurses are often unsung heroes, but today, we sing Casey's praises from the rooftops. Let's hear it for her in the comments! 🎉

Are you looking for a feel-good story in your feed? 💙

A group of amazing fifth graders at St. Matthew Catholic School (official) spent a day putting together creativity boxes for our . These will get a lot of use, and we’re genuinely inspired that young people took the time to give back so generously.

On behalf of our team and our patients, thank you, students. We think we might see some future doctors in there! 🩺

Did you know Wolfson Children's Hospital now has a full-time Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) team? 🫁🫀 ECMO uses specialized, life-saving equipment to take over the function of a patient's heart and/or lungs, providing oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the body.

Previously, nurses flexed to provide ECMO treatment when needed - but now the team provides a dedicated ECMO specialist in-house 24/7, working closely with our surgeons to initiate support as quickly and safely as possible for our patients. They also partner with our outstanding CVICU team to further strengthen collaboration and provide additional support to their nurses and staff.

🩸💨 When not actively on pump, our ECMO specialists will serve as a hospital-wide resource — assisting with admissions, transports, inter-unit transfers, IV support, trauma alerts, rapid responses, CRRT management, and more.

Team members have been preparing for this new role in our Baptist Center for Professional Excellence, where they've trained in real-life clinical environments with high-fidelity simulations.

We are incredibly excited about what this team brings to our hospital and, most importantly, to the and families we serve. ♥️
