Where Hope Soars 💫
Magnus is an 8-year-old with a love for adventure! A daring tree climb led to a fall, sending him to Norton Children’s Hospital for emergency surgery. Thanks to quick action from our team, led by Anthony L. Silverio, M.D., with Norton Children’s Orthopedics of Louisville, Magnus's arm is on the mend, and he’s focused on returning to the football field. 🌳🏈

Kali, one of our brave patients, had an unforgettable day watching the U.S. Women's National Team practice last week before their match against Argentina. The best part? Meeting the stars themselves! 🌟 She received a personalized jersey from the team, chatted with them and then got their autographs that she’s sure to treasure! 💪💙

Kali, who receives care from Norton Children’s Cancer Institute for sickle cell disease, says she is considering what sport she wants to play. Here’s to our inspiring patient and the players who reminded us all why we love the beautiful game!

Join us in congratulating Julie M. Bell on her 35th service anniversary with Norton Children's!

Julie Bell joined Norton Healthcare in 1989 as a nursing student. Once she completed her degree in 1990, she moved into a nursing position in the medical/surgical unit and has been there ever since — 35 years to be precise! Julie works with patients experiencing seizures, diabetes and respiratory issues. She has seen a lot of positive changes over the years, including implementation of new and better safety measures. Julie says she chose to work at Norton Children’s because it’s something she feels called to do. She said she was “pediatric through and through” when she started and that hasn’t changed!

✨ Where Hope Thrives 💙
For Carter Richardson, born at just 28 weeks, music therapy has been life-changing. After spending 100 days in the NICU, Carter and his mom Megan turned to music therapy with Alex Ruffner, M.S., MT-BC, NICU-MT, a board-certified music therapist. Today, 15-month-old Carter lights up for Ms. Alex and thrives thanks to these sessions, where parents and babies bond through music and developmental support.
