We’re jumping for joy over kangaroo care! 🦘

At Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento's Children's Center, we’re to support this special skin-to-skin bonding time between parents and babies. Kangaroo care helps regulate baby’s body temperature, heart rate, and breathing. It also fosters connection and supports milk production for moms.

Every day, we celebrate moments like these that help give babies the healthiest start in life. https://bit.ly/4jRI1b2

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Northern California Chapter recently hosted their Sacramento Great Strides Walk, one of nearly 300 walks held nationwide each year to raise funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis, a progressive genetic disease that affects the lungs and other organs.

Members of the SMCS Cystic Fibrosis & Pediatric Pulmonary Clinic joined families, friends, and supporters for a fun, hope-filled day rallying around the CF community.

These walks are a chance to come together, celebrate progress, and show support, one stride at a time.

“I am so grateful to be part of Sutter’s Pediatric Cardiovascular ICU! Every day I get to witness the amazing strength and resilience of our patients and their families, while supporting them on their medical journey.

It all started with one wish and one visit. 🌟 In 2002, SF Giants manager and baseball legend Dusty Baker granted a young San Francisco Giants fan’s wish by visiting him at Sutter CPMC. This special moment sparked the creation of Little Wishes, which today now serves 39 hospitals across the country and has granted 30,000 wishes nationwide, 5,000 of them at Sutter Medical Center’s Children’s Center! Recently, Dusty helped grant the 5,000th Little Wish by visiting and dropping off gifts to our pediatric patients! Thank you, Dusty, for your kindness. ♥️
