Dinosaurs, zoo animals, bears, and cows—oh my! 🦖🦁🐻🐮 Together, we collected around 200 stuffed animals to donate to Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida. Tomorrow, these new cuddly friends will be making their way to some very special kids. We hope each one brings comfort, smiles, and maybe even a few roaring adventures along the way. I couldn’t be prouder of our team! 💙 ABC Florida Gulf Coast Chapter Curran Young Construction Jaime Pelak

Camp bound! 💙 These 11 incredible kids from Golisano Children’s Hospital headed off to Camp Boggy Creek for a week of adventure, fun, and friendship — all in a medically safe environment designed for children with serious illnesses. A huge thank you to our Children’s Miracle Network partners at Walmart, Residence Inn Colonial Drive, and The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón for helping make their send-off extra special. #SWFL #GolisanoChildrensHospital #CampBoggyCreek #SickleCellAwareness

Meet Lauren Castillo, a brave young patient whose journey with epilepsy began in kindergarten. At one point, Lauren was having up to 30 seizures a day, making everyday life, including school, extremely challenging. When the Golisano Children’s Health Center opened in Naples, Dr.Guillermo Phillips, pediatric neurologist began rotating through the clinic, bringing expert care 10 minutes from Lauren’s home. Today, thanks to the right treatment plan and Dr. Phillips’ dedication, Lauren is seizure-free and finally enjoying life with more calm, more smiles, and more possibilities. This is why Golisano Children’s Health Center in Naples exists, to bring world-class pediatric care closer to home for Collier County families. #GoGolisano #EpilepsyAwareness #PediatricNeurology #Naples #SWFL

“There’s somebody for everything here.” 💙 When Michael and Allie White’s daughter, Lila, experienced life-threatening complications just after birth, their world turned upside down. After two difficult days in another NICU, they advocated to transfer her to Golisano Children’s Hospital, because they knew this is where she needed to be. From the moment they arrived, the Whites felt surrounded by support, from doctors and nurses to the milk lab team, counselors, Ronald McDonald House staff, and more. Lila’s story is one of resilience, but it’s also a story about what’s possible when families have access to world-class care close to home. To every donor, supporter, and team member, thank you for making stories like Lila’s possible. #GoGolisano #NICUAwareness #SWFL

We had some very special visitors from a galaxy far, far away stop by to spread joy to our patients, and they delivered! With smiles, high fives, and plenty of intergalactic cheer, our units lit up with excitement. Even our facility dog Lemon joined in on the fun, helping bring the magic to life for patients and families. Thank you to our Star Wars guests for creating unforgettable memories for our young heroes. #GoGolisano #StarWars #SWFL

5 is a Vibe! Happy Birthday, Lemon! We had a groovy time celebrating one of our favorite team members, Lemon the Facility Dog, as she turned 5 years old today! 🍋✨ Lemon joined the Golisano Children’s Hospital team in 2022 and has been spreading comfort, love, and healing ever since. As a specially trained facility dog, Lemon works alongside her incredible Child Life Specialist handlers, Sarah and Kaylee, to provide emotional, physical, and social support to our pediatric patients every single day. 💙 Unlike therapy dogs, Lemon is a full-time employee of Lee Health, trained to help kids through medical procedures, provide motivation during physical therapy, and bring a whole lot of smiles wherever she goes. 💛 Fun fact: Lemon was made possible through generous donations to the Lee Health Foundation , and her ongoing care is fully funded by philanthropy. Thank you to our community for supporting Lemon and the Child Life Facility Dog Program. She truly makes a difference in the lives of our patients every day. 🐶💕 #GoGolisano #FacilityDog #HappyBirthdayLemon #SWFL
