Camp Sunrise at Johns Hopkins Hospital returned to the Children’s Center for its ninth year, bringing summer camp joy to patients and families. This year, campers enjoyed three activity-packed days with a traditional summer camp theme. ☀️ 🏕️

Campers took part in a variety of crafts and activities, including creating personalized camp pennants, no-sew pillows, and beaded jewelry, making volcanoes erupt, and trying indoor archery. On Friday, the elephant toothpaste science experiment and caricature drawings were especially popular!

While Camp Sunrise at Hopkins transformed the Great Room into a campsite for patients and families, Camp Sunrise was also celebrating its 40th summer of week-long overnight camp for pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant patients. With Johns Hopkins Pediatric Oncology clinicians available around the clock, campers can receive the medical care they need—from chemotherapy treatments and lab draws to bandages for everyday camp bumps and scrapes—without missing out on the full camp experience. 💙

Whether at the hospital or at the campground, both programs give children the opportunity to enjoy the fun and spirit of summer camp.

Children's Miracle Network has been a symbol of hope for children in need of care for over 40 years. Organizations, such as Costco, join forces to raise funds for their local children’s hospitals.

As part of a Children’s Miracle Network fundraising campaign, two of our Johns Hopkins Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center families were invited to Costco to help raise money for the Children’s Center.

This year’s campaign was a huge success! A grand total of $201,859 was raised to support the Children’s Center.

Huge thanks to our Heart families, Costco and Children’s Miracle Network! 💛💙

As families get ready for a new school year, don’t forget about an important part of your child’s health: hearing! 👂

Dr. Emily Boss, director of Pediatric Otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, says undiagnosed hearing loss can affect a child’s ability to learn, communicate and build relationships in the classroom. 📚

Consider adding a hearing check to your back-to-school health checklist. A child who can hear well is better equipped to connect, participate and thrive. 💙

If hearing loss is suspected, Dr. Boss says families should schedule a hearing evaluation with a licensed audiologist before school begins.

In November 2025, 10-year-old Janyla Brown was seriously injured in a head-on car crash while riding in the back seat. She sustained injuries to her head, face and abdomen, including brain injury, internal bleeding and significant eye and facial trauma.

Janyla was taken to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center and spent six days in the pediatric intensive care unit, where she received specialized trauma and surgical care.

Now, Janyla is thriving and her resilience and recovery were celebrated at Johns Hopkins Trauma Survivor’s Day. Members of her care team were there to share her story and give words of encouragement.

“While our team provided the clinical framework, it was Janyla who provided the spirit and spark to recovery. Janyla, your strength inspires us. You are the reason we do research, you are the reason we push the boundaries of what’s possible and the reason we show up every single day. You inspire us,” said Dr. Isam Nasr, director of the Pediatric Trauma Program.

After leaving the hospital, Dr. Andrew Gill, psychology director of the Pediatric Psychiatry and Psychology Consultation Service, helped Janyla continue her mental and emotional healing before going back to school.

“I asked you what you like about yourself, and you said that you are smart and that you’re— and I quote—'beautiful no matter what.’ On behalf of your team at [Johns] Hopkins, please keep all of our voices in your mind after today, reminding you that you are beautiful no matter what,” said Dr. Gill.

Members of her physical therapy, emergency medicine and ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery teams were also there to support Janyla and her family. The event marking more than her recovery—but also the lasting impact of compassionate care.

College students often face many challenges at once — most of them new. The adjustment to life away from home can be compounded by the trials of growing into adulthood, which can lead to struggles with mental health.

A recent study co-led by researchers at the Children’s Center found that the rate of self-reported depression symptoms in college students steadily grew between 2007 and 2022.

According to Dr. Carol Vidal, child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Children’s Center, thoughts of su***de, or “suicidal ideation,” increased across all demographic groups.
