Born at just 22 weeks, Jeremiah came to our Level IV NICU at 5 months for more respiratory support. Today, he’s a sweet, curious 6-year-old who loves to sing! Read how our expert NICU team helped him thrive: https://t.co/1q5ecxW8uB

"The ability to keep kids at where they live, go to school, where they play, rather than traveling to Kansas City, is the goal," a Children's Mercy KC representative said during a December panel in Wichita. https://t.co/wKpx9ZJ4PP

Individualized treatments for cancer show great promise, and three KC-area providers are dialing up their offerings. https://t.co/T8lgSGsN7M

Thanks to improved technology and newer medications, our Blood and Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy program (BMT) had a record-setting 57 transplants in 2024. These life-saving transplants help children with cancer and blood disorders survive and thrive. Way to go team!

A sweet message from a family participating in Prader-Willi syndrome research at @ChildrensMercy. "Each year, our kids leave a donation to a special cause on the fireplace for Santa to deliver". This year their kiddo left a donation to CM, specifically to support PWS research.

Penguin power! 🐧💥 Kemiyah, Owen and other patients had an awesome afternoon creating penguin crafts and playing penguin-themed games. We love when patients are able to leave their hospital room to have fun and interact with other kids!

Matthew, one of our brave patients battling small cell sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, experienced a touchdown moment when @Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco surprised him during an #ArrowheadStadium tour! Talk about an end zone celebration! ❤️ https://t.co/9dT596EW9V

Hamdia is 1 of our incredible medical interpreters who help families communicate with their care team when English is not their 1st language. Hamdia received our BEE Award for going above and beyond to translate for a family whose child had a complex heart condition.

A heartfelt chat! Last month, #HeartTransplant patient Lanayah spoke with former CEO Paul Kempinski about her lifesaving transplant in January 2020. Now a @UnivOfKansas student studying sports journalism, she aims to raise awareness about cardiac arrest. She's amazing! 💖

13-year-old Olive, a #CancerSurvivor added “famous artist” and “charity auctioneer” to her ever-growing list of accomplishments. Her original artwork raised $50,000 for @victorykc, and she also designed the 2024 @SportingKC holiday card. Keep drawing, Olive!
