From the rehab court to the big stage, Andrew, you deserve every single moment of this. 🏀

From day one at Lynn Rehabiliation Center, Andrew made one thing clear: he wanted to play basketball. So, that's exactly what we did. Dr. Natasha Poulopoulos, clinical psychologist at Holtz Children's Hospital, hit the court with him as part of his rehabilitation journey, turning his love for the game into a powerful component of his recovery.

And then? The Jackson Health Foundation made sure his story didn't stop there, sending Andrew and his family to the Miami HEAT Family Festival where he got to meet some of his favorite players in person. 🔥

Sometimes healing looks like this: small wins, passion, and love for basketball. 💙

03/30/2026

Behind every moment of healing is a doctor who shows up with care and purpose.

Today, we thank our doctors for their expertise, compassion, and the commitment they bring to every patient they care for. 💙

Happy Doctors’ Day.

It can happen faster than you think.

Everyday items at home can look similar, especially to kids. From cleaning products that resemble sports drinks to gummies that look like candy, accidental poisonings can happen in a moment.

A few simple precautions can go a long way:
🧴 Keep medications and household chemicals locked or out of reach.
📦 Store items in their original containers.
🔍 Double-check labels before giving anything to a child.
🍬 Store vitamins, supplements, and medicine safely and securely, as they might look like candy to kids.

If a poisoning exposure happens, call Poison Control right away: 1-800-222-1222

As a parent, talking early about health, prevention, and healthy choices can help protect your child’s future well-being. ✨

That includes understanding human papillomavirus (HPV), a very common viral infection transmitted through intimate skin-to-skin contact that affects both boys and girls. While many infections clear on their own, some can persist and lead to certain cancers later in life, making prevention an important step.

Vaccination for preadolescent boys and girls, before their first exposure to HPV, is a safe and effective way to help protect against HPV-related cancers.

If you have questions about HPV or your child’s health, our Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology team is here to help. Learn more at the link in bio.

The little things matter more than we think.
Children are always watching how we care for ourselves, how we treat others, and how we show up each day. Those everyday moments help shape their habits, confidence, and overall well-being.

Leading by example is one of the most powerful ways to support a child’s health and growth.

Sometimes kids don’t have the words to explain how they’re feeling, and that’s okay 🤍

When emotions feel big or confusing, the way we respond can help children feel safe, understood, and supported. Listening without rushing, validating their feelings, and giving them space to express themselves can make a meaningful difference.
