Last year, the hospital performed more than 26,500 surgical procedures and 214,000 radiological examinations.

We’re excited to share that the Fetal Care and Surgery Center recently surpassed 101 fetal interventions with a mini-laparotomy assisted fetoscopic neural-tube defect repair. 👏 The procedure marks a milestone in the center’s commitment to pioneering advanced treatment for complex fetal conditions and reaffirms its commitment to enhancing maternal-fetal health. We extend our gratitude to our dedicated staff and to the families who trust us with their care. It’s their support that empowers us to pursue a meaningful impact in the field of fetal medicine. 💙 http://ms.spr.ly/6046mU53M #FetalCare #MedicalInnovation

Imagine if a child at risk for dyslexia could be identified and get help in a fun game format — before the start of formal reading instruction. That’s the goal of EarlyBird Education, a set of game-based products for parents and teachers that grew out of Boston Children’s research and was incubated in our Innovation & Digital Health Accelerator. Kudos Nadine Gaab, Carla E. Small, and John Brownstein for making an impact in early child literacy. 👇

Shortly after Layla was born she was diagnosed with a life-threatening liver condition and needed a transplant in order to survive. Throughout Layla’s extended stay at Boston Children’s our Milagros Para Niños program supported Layla, her mom Diana, and their family. Today, Layla is thriving and nearly three. We are so thankful to NBC Boston Stations and Melody Mendez for sharing Layla’s story and shining a spotlight on 15 years of Milagros Para Niños.
