@ChildrensMercy weird question but I was diagnosed in 1992 with Type 1 diabetes. I spent a week at Children’s Mercy Hospital. Is there a way to find out what my A1C was? I’m pretty sure I remember my blood sugar diagnostic number.

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!

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

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 @victorykc, and she also designed the 2024 @SportingKC holiday card. Keep drawing, Olive!
