Research can tell us whether something works. The people who participate can help tell us why it matters. 💬

These reflections come from parents who participated in Dr. Nate Bayer’s Parent Cafés, a peer-led program designed to foster connection, support and resilience among caregivers of children with medical complexity.

Our nurses and staff got a sweet treat last week when 7Brew stopped by with an essential: caffeine. ☕ And lots of it!

The team also presented a donation from their Caffeine for a Cause campaign, which was held at their newly opened Webster location. Thanks to everyone's generosity, they raised more than $24,000 for Golisano Children's.

Thanks for the sips and support, 7Brew!

Before she was an author, Jessie was one of our NICU babies!

Last week, she returned to donate copies of her new children's book, Oodles of Noodles, to our NICU. Its playful rhymes and cheerful pages will introduce our youngest patients to the joy of books!

“My twin sister and her daughter were also NICU babies, so two generations of my family know the challenges and triumphs of the NICU,” Jessie shared. “We’re honored to pay it forward with this donation.”

Thank you, Jessie, for giving back to the place where your own story began. 📚💙

Join us in wishing Sydney a very happy heartiversary! 🎉

One year ago today, Sydney underwent her life-saving arterial switch operation for Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), a serious congenital heart defect.

Born at 34 weeks alongside her twin sister, Shelby, Sydney faced challenge after challenge during her first months of life. Over a 69-day hospital stay, she underwent multiple procedures, battled serious complications, and showed incredible strength at such a young age.

Today, Sydney is a happy, active little girl who spends her days crawling, playing with her sisters, learning new words, and keeping her family on their toes.

As Sydney celebrates her heartiversary, her family looks back with gratitude on the many nurses, physicians, and care team members who stood beside them through every challenge, milestone, and victory.

"6 South will forever be Sydney's first home and part of her family." ❤️

Meet Rochester Red Wings All Star, Ralph!

Last summer, Ralph experienced a pulmonary hemorrhage that required him to be placed on ECMO—the highest level of life support. He spent 16 days on ECMO in the PICU at Golisano Children's, receiving critical, round-the-clock care.

“It’s because of the unwavering dedication, superior training, commitment to excellence, and top-tier care that Ralph is here today,” his mom, Nelida, shared. “Words cannot suffice.”

We loved seeing Ralph celebrate what he has overcome during his special All Star experience!

One year ago today, Tanner's life changed in an instant.

Tanner suffered a cervical spinal cord injury during a BMX race, and was flown to Golisano Children's, where he underwent emergency surgery and began the fight of his life.

What followed were months of recovery, rehabilitation, and determination. Through every challenge, he has continued to move forward with incredible strength and perseverance.

Today, Tanner participates in wheelchair rugby and adaptive biking, and helps educate future healthcare professionals about what it's like living with a spinal cord injury.

"This journey has been heartbreaking and incredibly difficult, but watching Tanner continue to fight every single day, smile through the challenges, and inspire so many people has been amazing," shares Tanner's mom, Tara. "We are endlessly grateful for every doctor, nurse, therapist, friend, organization, and community member who has stood beside him."

We're so excited to introduce the newest Tailgate Trends fundraiser project: Strong Smiles! 😁🐾

When the Tailgate Trends team learned that our Cleft and Craniofacial surgeons, Dr. Morrison and Dr. Neimanis, also perform cleft repair surgeries for puppies through their partnership with the Cleft Rescue Unit, they knew they had found the inspiration for their next project. 💙🐶

From there, patients in our Cleft and Craniofacial Division brought the idea to life, creating one-of-a-kind dog-themed artwork during their clinic visits. 🖍️

The result is Strong Smiles—a special apparel collection that celebrates the life-changing care provided to both children and puppies born with cleft and craniofacial differences.

Every purchase of this collection gives back, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting both our Cleft and Craniofacial Division at Golisano Children's and the Cleft Rescue Unit.
