This Thanksgiving, we put a mic on campus and asked our community what they’re most grateful for, and their answers warmed our hearts.

From patients and visitors to doctors, nurses, and staff, gratitude was everywhere. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the care we provide, it’s about the people, the community, and the moments that matter most.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Jackson Health System. We’re grateful for YOU. 💙

🧠 ADHD doesn’t always look the same.

In boys, it may show up as hyperactivity or impulsive behavior. In girls, it can be quieter; daydreaming, zoning out, or struggling to stay organized.

Dr. Ana Maria Ojeda, clinical psychologist at Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital explains how these differences affect early diagnosis and why recognizing them matters. Early support can make a lasting impact on a child’s well-being. 💕

Our pediatric behavioral health specialists provide compassionate evaluations and personalized care for children and teens.

During her second pregnancy, Andrea Limas learned her baby had developed a complete heart block with a dangerously low heart rate. With her 27-week pregnancy now considered high-risk, she was transferred to Jackson Memorial Hospital for advanced care.�

The pediatric cardiac team at UHealth Jackson Children’s Care acted quickly. Rebeca was delivered weighing just 2 pounds and immediately needed surgery to place an external pacemaker to keep her heart beating safely.

As she grew stronger in the Holtz Children’s Hospital NICU, Rebeca underwent a second procedure. The team implanted a Micra internal pacemaker, a device normally used for adults but carefully adapted for her tiny size. After 130 days in the NICU, she finally went home to meet her big brother. 💞

“The teams at Jackson, their passion for what they do in saving children’s lives, we’ll never forget it,” Limas said. “We’re so grateful for being one of those Jackson miracles.”

💙 All kids experience big emotions, like joy, frustration, sadness, and excitement. As parents, it’s not about preventing the negative feelings but helping your children understand them and express them in healthy ways.

Helping kids name and talk about their feelings builds emotional awareness and resilience. These small lessons shape how children manage emotions as they grow.

Bullying is never easy for kids or for parents. But your response can help shape how your child overcomes it. 💙

👂 Listen first. Let them share what happened without interrupting and give them space to come to you first.
🧘 Stay calm and avoid overreaction. Gather important facts and strategize.
💬 Encourage problem-solving skills. Ask what they might do next time and practice together.
🌟 Reinforce their self-worth. Celebrate their strengths and successes beyond school. Positive reinforcement helps kids build resilience.

Your support can make all the difference.

Nineteen candles lit up Caden Major’s birthday cake this year, but the real celebration was something he once thought impossible: life without sickle cell pain. 💫

For most of his childhood, sickle cell disease stole everyday moments and filled his days with pain and hospital stays. But this year, Caden became the first pediatric patient in South Florida to receive a new FDA-approved gene therapy at Holtz Children’s Hospital and University of Miami Health System, offering him a chance at a cure and freedom from the pain that once defined his life.

After weeks of chemotherapy, cell modification, and recovery, Caden is finally pain-free and dreaming big again.

“I want to learn to drive, get my GED, and finish school. I want to go to college,” he said. “I have no pain, and it’s pretty great — it’s how normal people feel.” 💙
