Finding Hope and Healing Hours from Home

“A major reason we continue his care so far from home is because you cannot put quality of care on the back burner.”

Since 2016, Tonya and Marvin have endured a long, trying, medical journey with their son, Noah, traveling six hours from their home in rural West Virgina to receive care at UPMC Children’s. Noah was born with a life-threatening heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot that consists of four heart defects. At six months old, he had his first heart surgery — but it wouldn’t be his last.

UPMC Children’s Celebrates Opening of Green Mountain Energy Sun Club Edible Garden and Mindfulness Path

UPMC Children’s and UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation are celebrating the opening of their Edible Garden and Mindfulness Path, thanks to a $78,375 donation by Green Mountain Energy Sun Club. The garden and path are located on the hospital’s third-floor terrace, which is the largest outdoor pedestrian space at the hospital.

The newly revamped outdoor area features a painted “Mindfulness Path,” thoughtfully designed as an enclosed walking route. The path features kid-friendly designs and games such as hop-scotch. Along the path are metal planters and a living wall of house plants, herbs, berries, grasses, and other living materials. These will be harvested and used in dishes served in the UPMC Children’s cafeteria, a Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant (Silver) facility.
