Caryeshé Joelyn Mitchell was just 15 months old when she was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia, a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells take on an abnormal shape, blocking blood flow and causing painful episodes, fatigue, and serious complications throughout the body.

Originally from The Bahamas, Caryeshé, now 21, navigated those painful crises, hospital visits, and the daily challenges that come with managing a complex condition, but she never let it define her.

Upon transferring to Holtz Children's Hospital, Caryeshé has reached a milestone that once felt out of reach: she has been approved for gene therapy, a life-changing step toward the relief she's long deserved, thanks to the support of Dr. Alvarez and the care team at Holtz Children’s Hospital,

Her journey is far from over, but for the first time, the road ahead looks brighter than ever. 💙

“I’m bored.” Sound familiar? ☀️😅

Before you rush to fill every hour of the day this summer, here’s something parents might not expect: a little “rotting” may not be such a bad thing.

While it may sound counterproductive in a culture of packed calendars and constant enrichment, a little boredom, downtime, and unstructured time can actually support creativity, independence, emotional regulation, and healthy development.

Dr. Polypolous at Holtz Children's Hospital shares what parents should know about “rotting,” screen time, summer routines, and when it may be time to pay closer attention. 👀

Because sometimes the best thing you can do for your child this summer is… nothing. 😌

Graduation looks a little different this year, but that didn’t stop us from celebrating. 🎓💛

Daniela Mena and Kaden Lewis, two of our dialysis patients at Holtz Children's Hospital, recently graduated from high school and are looking ahead to an exciting new chapter as they explore college opportunities.

To help mark this important milestone, our Child Life and Music Therapy teams organized a special graduation celebration filled with music, family, laughter, and plenty of well-deserved recognition.

Congratulations, Daniela and Kaden. We can’t wait to see what’s next for you both. ✨

🚗 Your teen is ready to hit the road, but are they truly prepared for what's out there?

Getting a driver's license is one of the biggest milestones of adolescence, but teen driving comes with real risks that every parent should know about. In this episode of Parental Guidance, we're covering everything from navigating distractions behind the wheel and understanding Florida's graduated licensing laws, to how to have the tough conversations with your teen before they get behind the wheel.

Because preparing them for the road is just as important as handing over the keys. 🔑
