When our community comes together, magic happens. Our friends at the Carolina Panthers brought joy to Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, delivering treats and smiles to brighten our day. 💙🖤

Patients enjoyed exclusive Panthers playoff-themed swag, the thrill of pounding the iconic Keep Pounding drum and memorable photo opportunities with Panthers Legend Mike Rucker and the TopCats.

Seven-year-old Levine Children’s patient, Mason, led the celebration by sounding the drum. 🥁

We’re proud to partner with those who believe in brighter days for every child. Thank you, Panthers! We are cheering you on.

We’re sounding the drum!

Callie Dobbins, senior vice president at Atrium Health Levine Children’s, and four-year-old Levine Children’s Hospital heart-patient Luke joined the Carolina Panthers to be among the first to Sound the Drum ahead of Saturday’s playoff game.

Luke has a very special heart, one that beats strong for the Carolina Panthers but also one that has physically undergone more than most people experience in a lifetime. Born with congenital heart disease, Luke underwent open-heart surgery at Levine Children's Hospital to repair a hole at the bottom of two chambers in his heart and is now receiving follow-up treatment at Levine Children's HEARTest Yard Congenital Heart Center. Over the years, Luke has made an incredible recovery and shown what it means to “Keep Pounding” through every step of his health journey.

Luke brought the energy as he pounded the Keep Pounding drum to cheer on his favorite team ahead of their big game against the Rams.

Go Panthers, Keep Pounding!

Leo, a resilient 19-year-old patient at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, has faced every challenge with unwavering determination.

Born prematurely, Leo’s medical journey has been complex, including renal failure, a stroke that left him wheelchair-dependent, hepatoblastoma, and two kidney transplants—the most recent in September 2025.

Although he lives in Wilmington, Leo continues to travel to Charlotte for specialized care at Levine Children’s Hospital, where his care team has supported him every step of the way. Reflecting on his experience, Leo shares, “Levine Children’s Hospital came highly recommended, and my care teams exceeded all of my expectations.”

To celebrate Leo’s strength, we’ve teamed up with Charlotte 49ers Basketball for a one-of-a-kind experience as they take on Wichita State! Leo and his family will meet the players during their shootaround, enjoy lunch with the team and be recognized on the court during the game.

Compassionate care, from the heart❤️

From the days we opened our doors at Atrium Health Levine Children’s HEARTest Yard Congenital Heart Center, our brave heart warriors have been at the heart of everything we do.

Through our partnership with Receptions for Research: The Greg Olsen Foundation, we have built a nationally recognized pediatric cardiology and heart surgery program — one that was recently ranked among the top 10 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. Today, we are proud to continue to bring hope to cardiac patients and their families through advanced cardiac care and innovation.

As we continue to celebrate 18 years of Levine Children’s Hospital, we celebrate the many lives changed through heart transplants and expert cardiac care provided by our amazing care teams and are grateful to be trusted by patients and families seeking the best care for their loved ones. ❤️
