Our NICU Read-A-Thon was a storybook success—we logged 987 reading sessions in just 11 days, making this our best one yet! 📚✨ We’re especially proud to have placed 5th among large NICUs internationally!

Thank you to every family and staff member who shared stories and love with little ones in the NICU—and to our generous community donors who supplied the goodies for our reader raffle baskets!

This is what resilience looks like.

Jazzy's journey began in 2018 when she was diagnosed with brain cancer. She bravely faced 5 surgeries, 30 rounds of radiation, and 4 months of chemotherapy—finishing treatment in July 2019.

For a few years, all was well—until her father noticed a suspicious bruise that led to a new B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia diagnosis in 2023. Jazzy continues her fight today, surrounded by countless supporters who are inspired by her strength.

Thanks to the incredible support from our GCH teams, URMC colleagues, and the Rochester community, over 115 children in our CARES Center started the school year with the supplies they need to succeed.✏️📚

The Golisano CARES Center serves children and youth ages 0–21 with complex medical, social, and mental health needs. Alongside their specialized care, the center helps connect families with vital resources—like school supplies—to ensure kids can thrive both in and out of the hospital.

Thank you to all involved in Daniel’s Race, inspired by Daniel Myslivecek and his battle against melanoma.

The 5k partially supports the Tomeny Family Social Work Fund here at Golisano Children’s Hospital. This year’s donation was made in memory of nurse Holly Ann Hallinean and her battle against melanoma.

🧠Mental health matters—and so does having great nurses like KatieSue!

KatieSue supports children on our inpatient psychiatry unit with compassion and care. When she’s not at work, she’s her own kids’ biggest fan in the stands and on the sidelines.

Our staff is all smiles about our Hair Equity Program kits, generously donated by CompHealth and Weatherby Healthcare! Packed with a variety of hair care products, combs, bonnets, satin pillowcases, and more, these kits are distributed to both GCH ambulatory practice patients, as well as families staying at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester, NY Inc..

Our Hair Equity program celebrates every child’s hair and helps make GCH a more inclusive space by meeting the unique hair care needs of our patients. 👩🏾‍🦱💙

One of 16-year-old Michelle's biggest wishes was to be healthy enough to play college volleyball. After undergoing life-changing surgery for ulcerative colitis at GCH, she not only achieved that dream but has gone on to accomplish so much more.

Now a veterinarian, scientist, wife, and mother of two, Michelle has recently completed her PhD and will soon return to New York as Director of the Warsaw Milk Quality Laboratory at Cornell. From caring for farm animals to keeping our food supply safe, she is making an incredible impact.

⛳ For the past five years, PICU nurse Josh Fox has turned his passion for golf into something extraordinary: the Putting for the PICU Golf Tournament.

This event has raised an amazing $61,408 for GCH’s Pediatric ICU—funding lifesaving medical devices and bringing joy to patients with gaming systems and more. This year, the tournament expanded its impact even further, donating an additional $1,000 to our Child Life program.

We’re so grateful to every participant and donor who supports this event, and to Josh and his wife, Justine, who go above and beyond for our patients both in and out of the tower.

From NICU to “I do”! Earlier this year, former NICU patient Maddie Rollins was a flower girl in her nurse Caroline's wedding!

"Caroline was one of the most amazing young nurses I had ever encountered," shares Maddie's mom, Latasha, who had been an inpatient nurse herself. "She bought Maddie her first Halloween costume, meticulously prepared and cared for her pre- and post-surgeries, and advocated for her throughout her time in the NICU."

Though Caroline’s days as “Maddie’s nurse” are behind her, she’s gained a new and treasured title—“Auntie!”

Today, on National Neonatal Nurses Day, we recognize all of the extraordinary nurses who care for our tiniest patients, and in turn, become part of their families forever. 💙
