Le Bonheur’s incredible Pedi-Flite team made a special stop to connect with University of Memphis nursing students. They shared insights into pediatric critical care transport and the vital role they play in saving young lives.

From exploring the helicopter and ambulance to hearing real-life stories from the field, students got a firsthand look at what it means to deliver care in motion.

Thank you, Pedi-Flite, for inspiring the next generation of nurses and showing them what compassion and courage look like in action!

We’re thrilled to celebrate a life-saving milestone through Project AED365! Thanks to the collaboration between Project ADAM, Project AED365 and Coro Medical, an AED was recently donated to Power Center Academy Southeast, a school with Gestalt Community Schools—one of our valued Le Bonheur community partners. Chelcie Oseni, the clinical manager of School Health for Le Bonheur Community Outreach, delivered the device to the school.

This donation is part of a broader initiative to equip youth-based organizations with essential emergency response tools. Each Project AED365 donation package includes a ZOLL AED 3, three years of AED 365 Pro Program Management, one seat for HSI’s Remote Skills Verification (RSV) training and a LifeVac choking rescue device.

Le Bonheur Children's has been a Project ADAM Affiliate since 2021 and has helped 32 schools in West Tennessee achieve Heart Safe designation. Together with partners like Project ADAM, Project AED365 and Coro Medical, we’re empowering communities with the tools and training needed to respond effectively in cardiac emergencies and save lives.

We are proud to announce an expansion of our partnership with West Tennessee Healthcare. Beginning December 2025, we will become the new provider of care for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.

This transition brings Le Bonheur’s expert pediatric NICU care closer to home for families across the region. Our team of neonatologists, nurse practitioners, and pediatric specialists — including cardiologists, neurologists and ophthalmologists — will staff the hospital’s 42-bed, Level III NICU, ensuring the region’s most vulnerable newborns receive the highest level of care.

“This expansion reflects our shared mission to bring specialized care to children and families in this region,” said Dr. Trey Eubanks, president of Le Bonheur.

We’re also proud to welcome Dr. Josefina Go as the NICU’s new medical director. A trusted member of the Jackson-Madison team, Dr. Go brings deep expertise and compassionate leadership to this vital role.

This NICU expansion builds on Le Bonheur’s growing presence in Jackson, including:
▪️A 21-bed inpatient unit (opened in 2022)
▪️A 30,000 sq. ft. Outpatient Center
▪️A network of school nurses and community health workers

Together with West Tennessee Healthcare, we’re committed to ensuring every child in West Tennessee receives expert, compassionate care — right where they live.

We had a blast welcoming Alyssa Lang, SEC Network and ESPN sports reporter, to Seacrest Studios at Le Bonheur! Patients and families listened as she shared her exciting career in sports reporting, favorite game-day memories and even joined in on some fun with “Is This Mascot Real?” and a Halloween-themed round of “Would You Rather?”

Thank you, Alyssa, for bringing your energy and stories to our patients.
