Patients and families at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital were treated to an unforgettable day thanks to our friends at Fund! 💙

From delicious bites at local food trucks to fun prizes and a live country performance from Hicks, the day was filled with music, laughter, and joy. These special moments mean so much to our patients and the families walking alongside them.

And a big thank-you to Love Your Melon for stopping by with their cozy, colorful beanies — our patients couldn’t get enough of them!

📖💙 Over 11 days, families and care teams at our M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital NICU read 627 books to babies as part of the global Babies With Books Read-A-Thon!

Reading to babies in the NICU isn’t just a way to pass the time. It’s a way to comfort, connect, and support healthy brain development from the very start.

We’re so proud of the families and staff who made story time part of the healing journey. Here’s a peek at some of the sweetest moments.

Baby loungers might look cute, but pediatrician Dr. Jessica Larson recommends avoiding them entirely. They're not safe for newborn sleep.

“Generally, anything that's fluffy or looks comfortable is probably dangerous for your baby,” she says.

Last week: Keaton rang the bell to celebrate finishing chemotherapy. 💛

This weekend: He stepped out onto Target Field with the Minnesota Twins to shine a light on kids everywhere who are fighting cancer. ⚾️

Keaton underwent months of treatment and unexpected complications from Hodgkin’s lymphoma and showed incredible courage and strength through it all. We are so proud to see him celebrated and watch him take this moment to inspire others!

"How can we help?"

That’s what we asked ourselves after the heartbreaking events in our community. Our answer: equipping parents, caregivers and neighbors with compassionate, practical skills to listen, comfort and guide your loved ones through trauma.

Last night, our Psychological First Aid training that did exactly that — bringing people together to learn how to reduce distress, foster resilience and support healthy recovery after a crisis.

PFA isn’t just a class; it’s a compassionate way to care for each other and ourselves. When we strengthen those connections, we strengthen our whole community.

Talking to kids about tragedy isn’t easy – but you’re not alone.
Dr. Jessica Cici, child psychiatrist and mom of three, has practical advice for starting the conversation.

Ask them what they’ve heard or what they know.
Share your feelings so they know it’s ok to share theirs.
Let them ask questions

Remember, it’s ok to not know exactly what to say. It’s also ok to feel anxious, worried, or scared. “In order for us to be there for our kids, we need to take care of ourselves,” Cici said. “Seek out support for yourself too, whether it’s talking to a trusted friend or finding a therapist.”

Dr. Cici offers more tips at the link in our comments.

Avion Dent’s high school journey took a turn when a rare, life-threatening illness put him on the sidelines. The star football player was experiencing severe stomach pain that didn’t have a clear explanation.

With the expertise of hematologist/oncologist Dr. Robin Williams and care teams at M Health Fairview and University of Minnesota Medical School, Avion received answers and treatment for a condition few have even heard of – Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease. Now, he’s in his first week at Concordia University, St. Paul. He hopes his comeback story will inspire young athletes across Minnesota.

Join us in celebrating Avion’s strength – and the teams who stood by him every step of the way. WCCO & CBS News Minnesota shares more. 👉 https://mhfv.care/4neLYZc

When osteosarcoma put AJ Walker’s athletic dreams on hold, he didn’t give up – he reimagined what was possible. Now through editing highlight reels of his favorite athletes on TikTok, AJ has found a new way to stay connected to the game he loves.

But AJ’s story is about so much more than sports. It’s about resilience in the face of loss, the healing power of creativity and the unshakable support of family, faith and compassionate care. His positivity continues to inspire not only thousands online, but also his friends, loved ones and the care team at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital.

AJ’s advice to others going through a hard time: “You worry about what’s out of your control and it steals the joy you could find in life. Always have an outlet. Have your family by your side, God by your side, and everything will work out.”

We believe that healthcare is about humanity first – and patients like AJ show us that joy, hope and courage can always be within reach.
