When dance is your dream, every step of recovery matters.

Today on Good Morning America, Bridget shared how Shriners Children’s expertise in pediatric sports medicine helped her return to dance after a major knee injury.

Her once-in-a-lifetime experience with Dancing with the Stars is a dream come true, and a powerful reminder of what’s possible with determination and world-class care.

We recently enjoyed a very nice visit from the Daughters of the Nile and their Supreme Queen, Kathy Walliker. We enjoyed a nice lunch, followed by a presentation and then a tour of the hospital. The Daughters of the Nile have, to date, donated over $77 million to Shriners Children's, and it was an honor to host them!

Yarra, a Shriners Children's patient, is giving back to Shriners Children's Portland. She raised money for Higgy Bears and donated over 100 of the brace-wearing stuffed animals to the hospital to be given to other scoliosis patients. Thank you for all your hard work and generosity - we appreciate it!

Radiology technologists, or radiologic technologists, play a vital role in pediatric hospitals by performing diagnostic imaging exams such as X-rays to help doctors accurately diagnose and treat medical conditions in children.

Working with young patients requires not only technical expertise but also a high level of compassion and patience. Pediatric radiology techs must be skilled at calming anxious children, communicating effectively with both kids and their families, and adapting procedures to suit the size, age and medical needs of each patient. They work closely with pediatric healthcare professionals to ensure images are of high quality while minimizing radiation exposure.

Their work is essential in detecting everything from broken bones to complex diseases, and we think our team is the best. We thank and celebrate you all for your hard work and dedication!

On Unity Day, our team came together in orange to stand against bullying and show our commitment to kindness, inclusion and acceptance. Wearing orange is a powerful symbol of unity, but the true impact comes from the way we support one another every day. Together, we send the message that everyone is valued, respected and welcome here.

Listen to Katie Azarow, Medical Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Shriners Children's Portland discuss bullying on our Healing Heroes podcast: https://ow.ly/TtEV50Xboc7
