🎉 Celebrating Our First Baby of 2026! 🎉

We’re excited to welcome Quinn Beth, the first baby born at Astera Health in 2026! Born on January 2 at 5:22 p.m., Quinn weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. She joins a loving family with five siblings: Emery, Hayden, Sutton, Lennox, and Warren.

Proud parents Beth and Jesse were gifted a special wagon filled with baby essentials, generously provided by the Celestial Givers Committee of the Astera Health Foundation. Thank you to Dr. Shaneen Schmidt and Sharon Cottrell, RN, for being part of this beautiful moment.

Join us in congratulating the family on their newest addition!

We’re grateful to share a new piano is now part of Astera Health, a gift designed to move throughout our campus, bringing music into spaces where comfort matters most.

Music has a unique way of easing stress, lifting spirits, and creating moments of calm for patients and families alike. Whether in the cancer center or beyond, this piano allows music to meet people where they are.
And while the piano itself is a gift, the music that fills it comes from others.

If you love to play piano and feel called to share your gift, we invite you to consider volunteering with Astera Health. Your music could become a moment of comfort for someone who needs it most.
