Briella is ringing in the new year CANCER-FREE!

Back in March, Briella was enjoying recess when she felt a pop in her leg after picking up another student. Her parents rushed her to the emergency department, where doctors discovered she had broken her left femur. Shortly after, scans and biopsies confirmed an unexpected diagnosis: osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer.

After months of treatment and remarkable resilience, Briella recently celebrated a major milestone—being cancer-free! She was joined by her loved ones and members of her care team for an epic bell-ringing ceremony at GCH. Congratulations, Briella! You're an inspiration for us all.💙

After 199 days with us at GCH, Kohen is home in time for Christmas. ❤️🎄

Born at 37 weeks, Kohen entered the world facing immense challenges. Doctors knew early on that he was missing his corpus callosum, then at only three days old, he developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Kohen has undergone seven stomach surgeries and now lives without 85% of his small bowel. He also has an obstructing tongue that affects his airway, leading to a tracheostomy, as well as a GJ tube for feeding and a central line.

Through it all, Kohen has shown incredible strength. "He is our family's hero and fighter," shares mom, Brooke. "The doctors and nurses here have become our family, and Kohen knows them all as his aunts and uncles."

We’re honored to be part of Kohen’s journey—and thrilled to celebrate this special homecoming with his family!

A huge thank you to Kyle O’Donnell and the entire O’Donnell family for their incredible support of Golisano Children’s Hospital. 💙

Through their annual Kyle’s Slap Shot Challenge Festival, they raised more than $32,000 for our kids! This year’s funds will support Pediatric Oncology, helping purchase new treatment chairs for patients in the clinic. We are so grateful for their continued generosity and commitment to our families over the years!

Waving good night — and goodbye — to Good Night Lights 2025!

A heartfelt thank you to RPD and our GCH Child Life team for collaborating to bring this event to life year after year, and to our Psychiatry Team and the first responders who helped bring the lights down Crittenden Blvd to our kiddos outside the tower.
