✨BIG changes are coming to Children's Hospital at Erlanger!✨

We’re excited to announce major renovations to the Children’s emergency department, main lobby, and entryways to better serve the 80,000+ patients and families we see each year.

Construction will begin this summer, though many projects are already underway, including:

- a new Behavioral Health space within the ED
- a Fast Track area for non-emergent patients to move through the department more quickly
- a project to convert current rooms to be more sensory friendly

"When families walk into Children's," said Erlanger CEO Jim Coleman at today’s press conference, "they are often facing one of the most difficult days of their lives. We want to make the first moment when they enter through the door to say, without a single word: you are safe, you are not alone, and you’re in the right place."

While significant progress has been made, additional community support is still needed. You can support the Children's renovations by making a donation here: https://give.erlangerfoundation.org/give/727795/ #!/donation/checkout

Child-to-child donations are a treasure. 💝 A huge thank-you to the first-grade classes at CSAS for their donation to our patients in Children’s Oncology! They donated bracelet kits, valentines, games, craft kits and small backpacks.

Some of our patients with leukemia receive chemotherapy continuously for 28 days, which means they need to carry the equipment with them around the clock. Why not carry it in style? 🎒

Help us distribute 2026 gun locks by the end of the year! In collaboration with Voices for a Safer Tennessee, Be SMART for Kids, and Tennessee Department of Safety, we're excited to announce that you can now pick up a free gun lock at any of our 7 Erlanger Emergency Rooms.

51% of homes in Tennessee have a firearm; to help prevent firearm injuries—the leading cause of death among children in the United States—proper gun storage is essential.

Drop by any Erlanger ER to pick one up for yourself, your loved ones, your neighbors, or anyone else you may know who owns a firearm.

Spread the word! And thank you for helping us keep our community safe. ❤️ 🔐

Meet Penelope, a sweetie living with complex congenital heart disease. Penelope was diagnosed prenatally by Erlanger pediatric cardiologist Dr. Jeb Raulston and his team. At 6 months old, she had open heart surgery and underwent the Glenn procedure.

Her journey does not end here, but she has been a true warrior! Our team will continue to follow along and offer support on her CHD path. 💕

Hats off to four-year-old Henry Brown, who recently graduated pediatric pulmonology follow-up and clinic. 🥳

Born at 24 weeks gestational age, Henry had a prolonged stay in the NICU and PICU before leaving on a tracheostomy tube and ventilator. He has now come off the ventilator and had the tracheostomy tube removed. An exciting day for our team, for Henry, and for his family. ❤️
