We had the pleasure of welcoming children’s author Mary Margaret Miner to our hospital, where she read her book “Dilbert the Diligent Dragon in Fantastical Fairyland” to our young patients. 🐉

The book teaches the children the power of the Golden Rule: always treat others the way you want to be treated. The more we help people, the more they want to help us. This message resonates deeply in healthcare, where compassion, empathy, and helping others are at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you, Mary, for bringing a little bit of magic to our day! Our patients lit up with joy and inspiration.

A heartfelt gift from the estate of Anna Ruth Farnsworth is helping meet critical needs at Niswonger Children’s Hospital, ensuring that children across the region receive the compassionate care they deserve. Her generous donation of $1,216,013.52 will have a lasting impact.

A lifelong resident of Johnson City, Mrs. Farnsworth was known for her dedication and quiet generosity. She worked for both Nolan Farnsworth Furniture Company and S.H. Cress and was a faithful member of Tacoma Church of God.

It was her earnest wish that her estate be used to support the needs of Niswonger Children’s Hospital. Through this thoughtful act, Mrs. Farnsworth’s legacy will live on, bringing comfort, healing, and hope to our young patients for years to come.

You made holiday magic happen — in the middle of July! 🎅

Thanks to our community's generous donations to our Christmas in July Toy Drive, patients at Niswonger Children’s Hospital were treated to a surprise visit from Santa himself, complete with wrapped gifts and big smiles.

Our Child Life team and volunteers became Santa’s summertime elves, helping deliver cheer to every child.

Because of you, a hospital stay felt a little more like home. Thank you for making Christmas come early for some very special kids.

Spread the word! 🍦 Miracle Treat Day is coming up on Thursday, July 31. Enjoy a delicious Blizzard Treat at participating Dairy Queen stores and help support children’s health in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

Our Children's Miracle Network Champion Child, Cleo, had the sweetest time making a Blizzard treat at Dairy Queen with Daytime Tri-Cities! She created a yummy M&M Blizzard—even though Oreo is her all-time favorite!

On Miracle Treat Day, $1 or more of every Blizzard sold will benefit Niswonger Children’s Hospital through Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, helping fund life-saving treatments and vital services for kids in our region, like Cleo.

Don’t miss the sweetest day of the year, grab a Blizzard on Thursday, July 31, and make a difference for kids who need it most!

It was a night to remember! 🎉 More than 3,000 people came together last Saturday to make memories at the 2025 Crazy 8s Road Race - The World's Fastest 8K.

The Niswonger Children’s Network was proud to sponsor this beloved Kingsport Fun Fest! tradition and to witness so many families enjoying a beautiful evening of fun, fitness and community spirit.

From Little 8s and Special 8s to the 3K and 8K, seeing participants of all ages and abilities cross the finish line was a powerful reminder of what makes our community so special.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible community of shoppers at Walmart Kingsport - Ft Henry Drive!💙

Each year during the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals campaign, the team at Walmart pre-packages toys requested by our Child Life department, labels each bag with a donation amount, and sets them out on a table.

Shoppers simply choose a toy bag, take it to the register, and "purchase" it as a donation to our hospital.

Thanks to your generosity, we received a cart and a half full of toys for our patients! Your kindness brings comfort and smiles to so many children at Niswonger Children’s, making visits to the hospital much easier.

Meet our Pet Therapy Dog of the Month for July, JB! 🐶

JB is a 10-year-old Goldendoodle who absolutely loves children. His favorite places to visit are Niswonger Children's Hospital and the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic, and he's been bringing smiles there since he was just one year old!

When he's not making kids' days brighter (and fluffier), JB loves hanging out by the pool with his mom and dad. He's a big fan of Greenies dog treats and sleeps between his parents every night. JB's brother, Jackson, is also a therapy dog!

We are so thankful for the tail-wagging cheer JB brings to our kiddos, their families, and our team members. He is loved by so many, and we're always happy to see him!
