Guns are the leading cause of death for American children and teens. Today we for the children we’ve lost and the families forever changed by gun violence.

In New Orleans, Manning Family Children's is making a difference—with over 3,000 biometric safes given to parents in Jefferson and Orleans Parish and outreach guided by local data and community voices.

🎉 Congratulations to one of our extraordinary NICU nurses, Dar'jene Brown, who was honored with the DAISY Foundation Award for Excellence in Nursing!

In her nomination letter, a grateful patient family member said, "Facing a tough journey after NEC, my child received exceptional care, comfort, and advocacy from DeeDee, who always ensured they were calm, clean, and perfectly cared for—even checking in on days off-assignment. Providing unmatched emotional strength, answers, and reassurance, DeeDee was a safe haven for both of us. We are forever grateful for our amazing DeeDee!"

Thank you, Dar'jene, for taking the very best care of your patients and advocating from the heart!

We were so excited to celebrate Sail 250 New Orleans this past weekend! ⛵

With LCMC Health as an official sponsor, we were able to host an exclusive Sail 250 event for our patients at the hospital on Friday and bring a kids zone to the Family Fun & Sports Day on Sunday at the Fly.

Members from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard Southeast visited the hospital to provide patients a hands-on experience to explore specialty vehicles on display, a musical performance by the Navy Band SE Woodwind Quartet, visits from K-9 dogs on their day off, and let kids explore protective gear and safety equipment.

On Sunday, we hosted a health, wellness, and face painting station for family's at the Family Fun & Sports Day, where kids could adopt a stuffed animal and take their new furry friend through their first doctor's visit and check-up.

🧠💗 A stressed out parent can lead to a stressed out kid. Taking five minutes for yourself isn't selfish. it's actually one of the best things you can do for your family. Plus, it is a great opportunity to teach your child how to manage stress by modeling those stress relief tips and tricks. Here's how to decompress so everyone wins.

- Practice stress relief with your kids by saying out loud what coping skill you are using
- Play with your kids to "play away" higher stress levels

Our children cannot thrive academically or in life unless their needs are met, including their physical health and mental health, which is why a holistic approach to your child's wellbeing is so important. We often hold stress physically in our bodies, so physical activity and play can be helpful to feel better emotionally.

What is your favorite way to get active with your kids?
