When our #MilesforMiracles team ran the @bostonmarathon presented by @bankofamerica, they had special friends supporting them: our Patient Partners.💙

These Boston Children’s patients and families inspire every runner by sharing their medical journeys, cheering at training runs and celebrating along the course on race day. They remind our team who they’re running for—and why every mile matters.

To our Patient Partners: thank you for being the heart of our team. You are the reason we reached the finish line.🏅

Mary Gallotto, an ambulatory nurse, says the best thank you she's ever received almost (literally) knocked her off her feet. Hear her tell it at the link in bio. #NursesWeek2026

You may be hearing more about hantavirus after recent reports tied to the Andes strain on a cruise ship.

Experts say the risk to families and the general public remains very low. Unlike COVID-19 or the flu, hantavirus does not spread easily between people. Most infections happen after exposure to infected rodents or their droppings, urine or saliva, especially in enclosed or dusty spaces.

The best way to stay safe is to avoid rodent exposure and use caution when cleaning closed spaces like sheds, cabins or attics.

For any immediate concerns or questions, always contact your doctor.

A hero. A “ninja in the night.” A strong patient advocate. These are just some of the ways families are describing Boston Children’s nurses in this year's Salute to Nurses letters, and we couldn't agree more. Congratulations to all our extraordinary nurses. See what else they’re saying at the link in our bio. @bostonglobe

Hospitals can be scary for kids. Nurses like Courtney Strong find ways to make them less intimidating. (Sometimes all it takes is a princess dress!) 👑💫 Watch our nurses talk about what it means to care for a child at the link in bio.

Taking care of the whole family: Hear nurse Ruth Gafanhao talk with colleagues about the role nurses play as advocates at the link in bio. #NursesWeek2026
