Recently, players from the New England Revolution stopped by our Inpatient Mental Health Unit to spend time with kids and share an important message. They spoke openly about how they handle pressure on and off the field, reminding our patients that it’s okay to lean on others during challenging times.

Thank you to the Revs for bringing encouragement, inspiration and a lot of smiles to Franciscan Children’s!

This week, we pulled out all the stops to celebrate our patient Dylan’s 21st birthday!

Since Dylan lights up whenever he sees emergency vehicles, our staff called in some special backup. Thanks to our friends at Boston Police Department (Official) and Boston Fire Department, Dylan’s big day came with flashing lights, sirens and plenty of smiles. 🚒🚓

Here’s to 21 years of being an alarm-ingly awesome young man - happy birthday, Dylan!
