šŸŽ‰ Celebrating 20 years of caring for Western North Carolinaā€™s kids! šŸŽ‰

For 20 years, Mission Childrenā€™s Specialists has been honored to care for children and families across Western North Carolina. šŸ’™
From everyday care to specialized expertise, our dedicated team has spent decades helping children grow healthier and strongerā€”and supporting families every step of the way.

Weā€™re grateful to the patients, families, providers and communities who have trusted us with their care. Hereā€™s to celebrating this milestone and continuing to care for our region's littles for many years to come!

šŸ‘¶ Every baby deserves a strong start. For some families, that begins in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

In this video, Dr. Erik Thingvoll, neonatalogist and NICU medical director at Mission Hospital, shares what you can expect if your baby needs NICU care.

Each year, more than 200,000 babies are born in HCA Healthcare hospitals ā€” and some arrive earlier than expected. According to March of Dimes, about 1 in 10 babies in the U.S. are born prematurely, meaning they are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy.

Mission Health's network of hospitals includes the region's only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mission Hospital, which serves infants from our region, as well as from the neighboring states of Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. Each year, approximately 200 infants are transferred to our hospital to receive care. Learn more: https://www.missionhealth.org/specialties/nicu?sf281627234=1

Mission Health is proud to celebrate Claire Lewis, a recipient of the HCA Healthcare Foundation's Patricia Frist Memorial Scholarship!

Claire is no stranger to Mission Health. Her father, Josh Lewis, serves as the Stroke Program manager and she participated in our Junior Volunteers Program in both 2024 and 2025, generously giving her time to serve others and gaining valuable experience along the way. Now, she is beginning an exciting new chapter at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she plans to pursue her dream of becoming an ultrasound technician.

When Claire learned she had received the scholarship, she shared:

ā€œI was so excited when I learned that I had received the Patricia Frist Memorial Scholarship! Every bit helps tremendously as I begin my education at UNC Chapel Hill, and I am so thankful to get this award... I hope to be able to give back to my community in the near future and cannot wait to see what college has for me! Thank you again!ā€

Claire, weā€™re grateful you chose to spend two summers serving with Mission Health, and weā€™re excited to see where this next chapter takes you. Congratulations on this well-deserved scholarship, and best wishes at UNC Chapel Hill!
