Trisomy 18 Awareness Day is observed annually on March 18 (3/18), a date chosen to represent the three copies of the 18th chromosome that define the condition.

Today we introduce you to Gunnar, who is thriving despite his complex medical needs. He has overcome tremendous challenges, including surgery to receive bilateral cochlear implants, making him the only known child with T18 to have implants in both ears. With ongoing therapies and a strong support system, Gunnar continues to make meaningful connections and progress in his own way.

He uses a Tobii device to communicate, loves playing baseball, and is always on the move—earning him the nickname “Gunnar the Runner.” His journey reflects both the medical complexity of Trisomy 18 and the remarkable potential these children have to grow, connect, and thrive.

We were excited to sponsor and participate in Junior Achievement’s recent annual Inspire to Hire event. The event connected 5,000 local students with employers to explore careers such as Child Life, NICU, Radiology, Respiratory Therapy, Speech Pathology, Orthopedics, and many more.

Students took part in demonstrations, learned about potential career paths, and discovered opportunities, including job shadowing. Thank you to everyone involved!

🚁✨ Our new helicopter may be called Care Force One, but that’s just one standout name among the many incredible submissions we received in our naming contest. Now it’s time to hear the rest, straight from the finalists themselves. Let’s roll out those amazing names!

Otto was born with congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), a rare condition diagnosed in utero when a baby’s airway becomes completely blocked. At birth, he received a tracheostomy and became the first CHAOS survivor in his home state of Utah.

He spent 200 days in the NICU, and when he finally came home, he relied on a ventilator and tube feeds. Through every high and low, Otto kept healing. By two-and-a-half, he no longer needed the ventilator.

Because CHAOS is so rare, there’s no clear roadmap for airway reconstruction—but Otto’s path led him to our airway reconstruction team, determined to give him the best chance to breathe, speak, and eat on his own. He has traveled to Cincinnati seven times, and each visit, he continues to defy the odds.

He required only one reconstruction surgery and one stoma closure—making him one of our only CHAOS patients to succeed with a single reconstruction. Today, Otto is living a life his family once feared might not be possible. He now breathes, speaks, and eats completely on his own.

Otto loves baseball, Disneyland, Monster Jam, and going to the beach—and this , we celebrate incredible kids like him who show us what’s possible. 💙🌟

When one parent found herself navigating her young daughter’s complex medical journey—long days, sleepless nights, and endless uncertainty—she realized how little support can sometimes exist for the parents who stay at their child’s bedside.

To help others facing this same uncertainty, she created The Breath Between, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the well‑being of parents and caregivers during pediatric hospitalizations, because when parents are supported, children do better.

The group recently donated 50 care bags for our dialysis unit. These packages included a meal voucher to the café, access to meditation and relaxation resources, a journal and sweet treat, all to make the day a little easier to navigate.

We’re grateful to feature you this . Thank you for all you do!
