Comfort in Every Stitch:

For patients experiencing restlessness, anxiety, or cognitive challenges, small comforts can make a big difference. Our fidget blankets are thoughtfully handmade and provided to patients to help keep hands busy and minds calm.

Each blanket is filled with textures, zippers, buttons, and fabrics designed to offer soothing sensory engagement—bringing comfort, focus, and peace during hospital stays or long treatments.

Thanks to the generosity of volunteers and donors, these simple creations provide more than warmth—they bring calm, connection, and care.

Nourishing Health Beyond the Hospital:

For many patients, healing doesn’t stop at discharge—but access to healthy food can be a challenge. Our Inpatient Food Pantry provides a week’s worth of nutritious meals to patients who are discharged with food insecurity, ensuring they have what they need to continue recovery at home. Last year, the Inpatient Food Pantry distributed 616 food boxes.

Each package is thoughtfully prepared to match medical needs—offering heart-healthy, diabetes-friendly, and healthy choice—along with information on local food pantries for continued support.

Thanks to our Foundation and generous community partners, we’re helping patients nourish their bodies, support their health, and focus on recovery—not hunger.

Unexpected Moments. Unconditional Care:

Sometimes life brings the unexpected — a baby arriving early, or a family in need after a car accident. When that happens, our Foundation steps in to ensure every child has what they need to leave the hospital safely.

Through the support of generous donors, we’re able to provide car seats to families who find themselves without one unexpectedly. Because every child deserves to travel safely — no matter the circumstance.
