Elizabeth Seton Children's Center | Yonkers, New York

Finding New Ways to Interact

Parents and guardians had not been able to visit their child at Elizabeth Seton Children's Center since March 13, 2020, when the governor's executive order banned nursing home visitation.

The center facilitated safe playground visits.

While it was heartbreaking for families to not be able to kiss, hug or hold their child, the fact that no child at Elizabeth Seton Children's Center has tested positive for the virus during the pandemic provided them with peace of mind.

Grandpas Know Best

When 4-year-old Lucy was admitted to Wolfson Children’s Hospital to begin her fight against cancer, only her mother could accompany her due to COVID-19 visitation restrictions. But her mom wasn’t the only one there for Lucy.

The day Lucy was admitted, her grandfather drove to Jacksonville from Tallahassee to support them. So he could find the room, made a giant heart sign to put in the window. The next day, the grandfather bought supplies to make a giant heart of his own to let Jessica and Lucy know he was there for them.

Lucy came to the window every morning to wave to her grandfather. And every morning, he was there.

Scottish Rite for Children | Dallas, Texas

Box Push Champion

When Artamus began the process of limb lengthening on his upper leg, his doctors at Scottish Rite for Children prepared him for the treatment to be physically and mentally difficult. As the bone is lengthened, the soft tissue, muscles and ligaments need to be strong and growing as well, which means resting and taking it easy isn't an option.

Artamus is doing everything in his power to have the best outcome, and that includes working hard during physical therapy, even with his mask on.
