Nearly 93% of all fire-related deaths happen at home. House fires spread rapidly and can leave families as little as two minutes to escape once an alarm sounds.

Last year, Le Bonheur treated 14 kids burned by a space heater, 9 kids injured by a campfire/bonfire and one kid in a house fire. This year, Le Bonheur has already treated 11 kids burned by a space heater, 9 kids injured by a campfire/bonfire and 4 kids in a house fire.

Food, family, gifts and decorations are all highlights of the holiday season, and this year there is plenty to celebrate as we all gather together. The thing that can ruin all the fun is a home fire.

We’re thrilled to share that University Schools, the public school district run by the University of Memphis, has launched a preschool program right inside Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital!

The new pilot serves patients ages 3 and 4 who are hospitalized long-term at Le Bonheur. Through this innovative partnership, University Schools brings education directly to our youngest patients — helping them stay connected to learning even during challenging times.

The program, the first of its kind for the school, hopes to expand access to early learning opportunities that support school readiness, social-emotional growth and development for students under 5. “Through this unique partnership, Le Bonheur ensures that young patients receive academic support while their families experience a sense of belonging and community during a challenging time,” said Erin Lasley, All Kids Academy program coordinator and Family Resource Center coordinator at Le Bonheur.

This is a powerful example of how education and healthcare intersect to support not only healing, but growth.

Le Bonheur is home to a rich tradition of meaningful and uplifting art, and we’re excited to add a new piece to our collection!

Located beside Le Bonheur Green, our donor-funded two-acre green space, the mural, designed and painted by Young Blood Studio, extends the natural and artistic themes that make our hospital feel like a home away from home for our patients and their families.

This 264-foot mural — just shy of a football field and now the longest in Memphis — tells a heartfelt story of comfort and journey. A beautiful tree displays 14 birdhouses and vibrant bluebirds, symbolizing the path our young patients take as they leave their own “tree home” and fly toward a birdhouse shaped like the hospital. The bluebird motif also connects to the iconic bluebird perched in our lobby’s mosaic obelisk.

Hidden throughout the mural are 52 hearts, honoring the year Le Bonheur was founded in 1952 — a fun and meaningful scavenger hunt for kids and families.

“The mural has a tremendous impact on the Le Bonheur urban campus due to its size and design,” said Le Bonheur Art Director Linda Hill. “It is an extraordinary work of art not only for the medical district, but for Memphis.”

Because of our generous donors, children and families experience moments of joy, comfort and creativity during their stay.
