Happy Tutu Tuesday from Norton Children’s Cancer Institute! What started as a small moment of creativity has grown into a beloved tradition at Norton Children's Cancer Institute in the Novak Center for Children’s Health. Five-year-old Avery Money had to swap her dresses for tutus to make chemotherapy treatments easier. She and her mom decided to spread the fun by making a tutu for one of our amazing nurses, Ed Dohn, RN. From there, Tutu Tuesday was born and it has grown into a weekly celebration for staff and providers!
