Earlier this year, Tavi came to our ER for pneumonia—but within hours, his condition became critical. He was admitted to the PICU, intubated that night, and placed on ECMO the next day to save his life.

Thanks to his doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, Tavi is thriving again—back to football, basketball, and baseball, and being the amazing brother, son, and friend he’s always been.

To celebrate his incredible comeback, Tavi joined the Rochester Americans as their first Honorary Captain for the 2025–2026 season. 🏒 Way to go, Tavi!

When Kim Buholtz, longtime pediatric nurse and Assistant Director of Simulation at the University of Rochester School of Nursing, decided to become a living liver donor, she did it for one simple reason: to give another family the same gift a stranger once gave hers. Inspired by the bone marrow donor who helped her mother, Kim felt called to pay that kindness forward.

After months of preparation, Kim finally matched with someone in need. In July 2025, she donated a portion of her liver at Strong Memorial Hospital, giving a local patient a lifesaving second chance. We’re thrilled to share that today, both Kim and her recipient are thriving.

During a childbirth class at Strong Memorial Hospital, Emily suddenly experienced a placental abruption. Just hours later, baby Noa was born at 35 weeks via emergency C-section, arriving with a low Apgar score of 1 — an indicator that she needed urgent care.

After 11 days in our NICU, learning to breathe on her own, feed, and regulate her body temperature, Noa is now almost 4 months old, hitting milestones, and smiling her way through life!

Mom and dad, Emily and Brodie, are endlessly grateful for her amazing NICU nurses, Dr. Scheible, the pediatric neurology team, and everyone here at Golisano Children’s Hospital who helped their little miracle grow strong. 💙

The Rochester chapter of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library recently reached an exciting milestone: its 100,000th free book delivered to a local preschooler! This moment is especially meaningful to us at GCH, as the program was launched by one of our own—Dr. Matthew Present, now a hospitalist—during his residency.

Senator Jeremy Cooney and Rochester City School District Superintendent Eric Rosser joined the celebration at School 54, personally delivering the milestone book and sharing promising updates about the program’s future, including new local funding and a renewed push for statewide legislation that could broaden access for even more families.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this happen, and a special shout-out to Dr. Present for getting it started!

The Hepatitis B vaccine is one of the very first your baby receives—here’s the reason it’s been a trusted, universal recommendation for decades. 👇

Hepatitis B can be serious, but prevention is simple. Hear from Dr. Neil Herendeen why the birth-dose vaccine matters for newborn babies.

As a high schooler, Tina Sosa knew she wanted to work in pediatrics. It was during her time as a GCH Child Life volunteer that she discovered the best care is about more than medicine—it’s also about the connection, comfort, and joy that help carry patients and families through their hardest moments. The Saturday mornings she spent volunteering gave her an in-depth look at pediatric healthcare that has guided her entire career.

Today, Dr. Sosa serves as Chief Quality Officer at Golisano Children’s Hospital, leading a team committed to ensuring every patient feels safe, supported, and truly cared for.
