September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Shout out to Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital’s oncology nurses who rode for Team Tommy Fund in last weekend’s Closer to Free ride.

We are thankful for Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer which provides wellness care for our pediatric oncology and hematology patients between our inpatient and outpatient units – as well as coffee and snacks in all of our oncology outpatient areas in the Pediatric Specialty Centers. Most recently, they provided patients with back-to-school supplies and new backpacks.

🦁 On September 4, we proudly celebrated the ribbon-cutting of the newly reimagined playroom on 7 West Pavilion at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital, made possible through the generosity of Companions in Courage Foundation, founded by NHL legend Pat LaFontaine, and their donor, Northwestern Mutual Foundation.

The transformation is more than a renovation, its a shining example of what happens when compassion, creativity, and generosity come together. The new Lion's Den playroom is now a magical, sensory-oriented, age-appropriate, fun and safe space for patients and families to enjoy.

We were honored to welcome hospital leadership, Northwestern Mutual leaders, and Pat LaFontaine to celebrate this milestone with us. 🦁

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Yale New Haven Children's Hospital sends a very big thank you to Feeding Families Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps support our pediatric hematology and oncology patient families by providing complimentary meals to parents and caregivers during their child's hospital stay. Founders Jeff and Samantha Dorman were recently featured in a Connecticut Mirror article and spoke about how these meal donations continue to expand as more New Haven-area restaurants are joining the cause.

The Feeding Families Foundation delivers meals to parents while their kids receive treatment for cancer at Yale New Haven Hospital.
