We believe that all children and adolescents…
• are special
• should feel safe
• should be given opportunities to smile, play, learn and grow
• should have access to the love and support of their family and friends

If you share these beliefs please "like" our page and share it with your family and friends. We would also ask you to consider volunteering or donating to our child life program to help us make hospitalization easier for children and their families.

The Aiello family is giving back to UMass Memorial Health—where their family has both given and received care.

Every holiday season, the family donates to UMass Memorial Children's Medical Center for staff to put towards the area of greatest need for pediatric patients.

This has helped elementary schoolers John and Maeve Aiello more deeply understand the importance of helping others and inspired their own fundraising activities in support of the CMC.

You can support their latest fundraiser here: https://bit.ly/3YzczG7

It's cold outside but Valentina's cuddles are warm! A simple cuddle can create a big impact by…

• Grounding a patient by feeling Valentina's fur
• Adding positive physical pressure to relieve anxiety
• Remaining calm to help emotional regulation
• Providing comfort and safety
• Helping through procedures like EEGs when a patient needs to stay in bed

There are so many ways dogs can help!
