Five oncology nurses at Rady Children’s Health share a bond that goes far beyond the unit they work on: they were once cancer patients themselves.

Having stood where their patients stand now, they understand the fear, hope, and resilience that come with a cancer journey. Today, they’re using that experience to care for kids and families through the moments that matter most.

This Mother’s Day feels extra special for one Rady Children’s Health family.

After spending months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit in Orange, baby Madeline is finally home with her family.

Before she was born, Madeline was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect through the Fetal Cardiology Program, the same diagnosis her big sister Elena once faced. Through every uncertainty, her family was met with expert care, compassion, and support.

Now, after a long journey, Madeline is where she belongs: home.
