We are feeling so inspired here at . Last night, our amazing champions hosted their own pool party and during their time together they got to sharing their Children's Miracle Network stories. Their resilience, their determination, their empathy, their joy… we cannot put into words how incredible these young folks are.

In continuing to celebrate , meet two creative and caring art therapists, Michelle and Ceara!

A year ago, these incredibly talented members of the Family & Child Life Services Department at UH University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital had the idea to make the pediatric dialysis unit more child-friendly and fun. They picked up their supplies and got to work, painting directly on the large window where pediatric patients receive treatment. One mural became two. Two became three. And now, one year and four stunning murals later, they're just getting started!

In addition to bringing artwork to our halls, they bring creativity and hope to patients across UH Rainbow by providing art therapy to patients and their family members.

Did you know? For every home transformation Bath & Cabinet Experts completes they donate $25 to support our incredible Family and Child Life Services team!

Continuing with our highlights - Meet Colleen, Lauren, and Bev, certified child life specialists on the adult side of University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.

This trio helps adolescents and young adults understand illness, express feelings, and identify ways to cope and communicate. Another aspect of their job is to prepare and accompany children who are visiting hospitalized adult patients and offer the opportunity to process and debrief post-visit. Colleen, Lauren and Bev also facilitate bereavement support for children experiencing grief and loss.

Every time you donate at the register at your local Panda Express, you are supporting the work Family and Child Life Services does every day to support our patients and their families.

March is Child Life Month!

For over 55 years, University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Family and Child Life Services (FCLS) extraordinary team - child life specialists, art & music therapists, a horticultural therapist, special education teachers, and more - has shown up every single day to bring comfort, healing, and hope to children and families navigating some of life's hardest moments.

This year, their support expanded beyond the bedside. When their own manager, Shari, began her cancer journey, the team wrapped her in the same warmth they give every patient, from custom t-shirts to personal messages of strength. Their logo? A Wonder Woman symbol + a lime green lymphoma awareness ribbon.

"I have a legion of supporters who genuinely care and stand beside me. I am grateful to be part of such a remarkable, compassionate team, and proud of the exceptional care they provide to our patients and families every day." - Shari Racut, FCLS Manager

You can be part of celebrating our champions for children too! The FCLS team is collecting new children's books for the Rainbow Book Cart which can be purchased through our wish list here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12J18SX5U3GLM/ref=cm_go_nav_hz
