The Johns Hopkins PICU Up! Program

An innovative program created @hopkinskids to create a culture of #mobility for critically ill #children through a #multidisciplinary #ICURehab approach

What’s the only thing better than watching a Thanksgiving Parade?

Being in one!

This Thanksgiving we had our own #PedsICU parade, big balloons & all! 🎈

Families/sibs joined the fun, & all patients & staff cheered them on❤️

The Children’s Center had a spooktacular time reverse trick or treating with all of our kiddos today!

A HUGE thank you to all of the groups that volunteered their time to help spread joy throughout the units (including our special robot guest). Have a safe and happy Halloween 🎃

The @HopkinsKids Pediatric ACCM Divisions & Fellows 2025-26: #PedsCICU, #PedsAnes/#PedsPain & #PedsICU. An honor each and every day to work with these incredible humans. 💛💙💛💙

[Johns Hopkins Children's Center @HopkinsKids]

From the starting line to the finish line, you showed us what community can do. 🏁

On Saturday, September 27, over 1,300 participants came together for the second annual Miracles in Motion 5K, raising $224,412 for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center! 💙

Because of you, kids facing serious illness have brighter tomorrows.

Thank you for showing up, giving back, and making miracles possible for kids and families who need it most. ✨

What works when we are healthy is just as important when we are not.
