13-year-old Olive, a #CancerSurvivor added “famous artist” and “charity auctioneer” to her ever-growing list of accomplishments. Her original artwork raised $50,000 for The Victory Project, and she also designed the 2024 Sporting Kansas City holiday card. Keep drawing, Olive!

A heartfelt chat! Last month, #HeartTransplant patient Lanayah spoke with former CEO Paul Kempinski about her lifesaving transplant in January 2020. Now a University of Kansas student studying sports journalism, she aims to raise awareness about cardiac arrest. She's amazing! 💖

Hamdia is 1 of our incredible medical interpreters who help families communicate with their care team when English is not their 1st language. Hamdia received our BEE Award for going above and beyond to translate for a family whose child had a complex heart condition.

Penguin power! 🐧💥 Kemiyah, Owen and other patients had an awesome afternoon creating penguin crafts and playing penguin-themed games. We love when patients are able to leave their hospital room to have fun and interact with other kids!
