Healthy Kids - Winter 2024

THANKS TO OUR CARING NETWORK!

Looking Back, Moving Forward t Rady Children’s, every new year presents a new opportunity to learn from the successes, lessons and discoveries of prior years to continue transforming the care we provide—and bring new hope to families right here in San Diego. Our focus on building a healthier and happier future for San Diego and its children has never been stronger. On the pages that follow, you will see stories highlighting this transformation, including the inspiring story of a cello player who can hear, thanks to the incredible work of our Division of Otolaryngology. You’ll also get a sneak peek into how we are transforming our campus to expand our services to even more kids in need. But transforming pediatric care cannot be done on our own; it takes commitment from our incredible community. Our community’s support of Rady Children’s was highlighted during our annual Light the Way holiday fundraising celebration. Featuring our patient ambassadors and supported by generous donors, this festive event creates a memorable experience for children and their families spending their holidays in the Hospital. It also propels lifesaving technology and innovative research that happens all year long at Rady Children’s. Important resources, such as child life specialists, are made possible through the generosity of people like you. If you haven’t had the opportunity to contribute, it’s not too late! Light the Way shines as a symbol of hope during what can be challenging times and embodies the incredible power of philanthropy. Every single day, we are transforming the way we care for kids in our community, and although we are honored to have earned recognition as one of the 10 best children’s hospitals in the nation, there is more to do! We strive for better outcomes, new discoveries and advanced treatments for our young patients. Your unwavering support makes this goal a reality. Thank you for being an integral part of our Rady Children’s family and for supporting us on this incredible journey. Together, we are lighting the way toward a brighter and healthier future for all children in San Diego and beyond. A
