mt-4 dark_blue" data-v-db0f3346><p>Mass shootings continue to make national news headlines and are a frightening reminder to us all of this “new normal.” We emotionally respond to these horrifying incidents with a sense of terror, fear for our own safety and sadness for the victims and their families.</p> <p>Beyond our immediate gut reactions, we can expect media coverage to extend across our televisions, radios, computers and mobile devices, as in any crisis. And we can expect that our kids, teenagers and young adults will have varying levels of information about these tragic events, along with their own emotional reactions, questions and concerns.</p> <p>How can parents, educators and other caring adults help our young people process acts of gun violence in these moments, when we know they already feel vulnerable? How can we help them live with confidence and self-assurance in the world without constant fear that their everyday life is filled with imminent danger? How can we help them put these tragedies into some perspective?</p> <p>As with any of our caregiver guidelines, first remember that you know your child best. Then, the approach for each child should be developmentally appropriate. What helps a 7-year-old cope with fear and anxiety may not be the same for a 17-year-old.</p> <p>Below are some basic tips on how to talk with a child of any age about gun violence.</p> <h2>Talking Tips for All Ages</h2> <ul> <li>Control your own anxiety. Anxiety is contagious and your kids will see this. Use self-care measures to calm yourself down. Research shows that when a parent is calm and under control, they are in the best position to talk with their kids about scary things. If your kids ask you directly about a recent shooting, be honest and express how terrible you feel for these losses and for the victims’ families and communities.</li> <li>Talk with other adults you trust about gun violence and hate crimes. Sometimes partners, friends, family, clergy or community leaders will help you clarify your own reactions and help you contain your anxiety.</li> <li>Be proactive. Limit your own exposure to gun violence by turning off the news coverage and avoiding social media posts focused on violent events. While it is important to stay informed, repeatedly viewing the news stories and related content tends to add to our fears, not reduce them.</li> <li>Keep your own home safe from gun violence. Knowing that around one in three homes with children contains at least one firearm, it is critical for gun-owning parents to safely store them away, ideally by locking up the unloaded gun and storing the ammunition in a separate locked location. If you think your children don’t know where you keep your gun(s) or that they know not to play with them, think again. Research and past experience have shown that too many accidental shootings occur in the home by making these assumptions.</li> <li>Talk with your kids about gun safety rules. If you have guns in the home, be sure to talk with your children of any age about gun safety rules. No child should be able to have any access to firearms without adult supervision. If you have not developed and discussed family rules about the storage, access and use of firearms, please establish them and post them, and have a serious conversation about your rules. Even if you don’t have guns in your home, it is possible that there are firearms at a friend’s home, so it is key that you talk with your young people about gun safety. Likewise, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you ask parents about their own gun safety practices before your child attends a playdate, party, or sleepover at their home.</li> </ul> <h2>Talking Tips by Age Group</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Toddlers and Preschoolers</strong> <ul> <li>Very young children are more disturbed by their parents’ and caregivers’ distress than by the actual event. They may not fully understand what happened, or they may see it as more than an act on TV. That’s why they’re comforted more by your actions than your words. Be careful how you present yourself to them, both emotionally and in conversation with others. Naturally, they will pick up on your reactions.</li> <li>Expect young children to regress a bit emotionally. They may become clingy or whiny, have difficulty sleeping or start wetting their beds. The more patient and reassuring you are, the more quickly these episodes will pass.</li> <li>Turn off the media. If you wish to watch or listen to news coverage, do so while your very young children are not in the room; they do not yet have the ability to put the frightening images they see into perspective. And if you have conversations about shootings with a partner or older children at home, be sure they are not within ear shot.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Grade School Children</strong> <ul> <li>Encourage your school-aged children to share their feelings and concerns with you. Certainly, they will have heard about the recent events. Assure them that it’s all right for them to be upset, and that you’ll do everything you can to protect them from harm.</li> <li>Ask what specifically worries them and what they know about the recent shootings. Also, ask where they heard about the shootings. It is very important to know where they get their information.</li> <li>If appropriate, reassure them that you live in a very safe place and that these events are not common, though you do need to admit they are very scary.</li> <li>Remember that children often work through emotional issues with play instead of words. Don’t be surprised if your children use toys to replay the images they’ve seen or imagined. This is healthy. It can also give you insights into their fears and misunderstandings.</li> <li>Expect that your children might ask the same questions several times. Be patient. Remember that by asking these questions, they’re showing you that they trust you and what you say.</li> <li>Turn off the media. It is not wise for school-aged kids to follow news coverage of these events. However, if they have already seen or heard about the breaking news, be available to clarify their concerns.</li> <li>Remind them that there are more good people in the world than there are bad people, and the good people will always try to take care of and protect them.</li> <li>Talk about angry feelings and how to manage them. Even school-aged kids know that children and adults get angry and have conflicts, and they have probably seen all sorts of violence in movies, on TV and in real life, such as road rage and angry behavior in their communities. Discuss how anger can be managed and explain that there is never reason to manage anger with violence.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Teenagers and Young Adults</strong> <ul> <li>Adolescents may be scared and wonder what this means for the lives they’ll lead as young adults. For example, “Will I be safe in college or in the community where I live and work?” They may struggle with questions about justice, power and the use of weapons —issues that directly relate to violent events. And as parents, young people of color or other marginalized individuals may be particularly worried.</li> <li>Teenagers are capable of having nuanced discussions and considering issues, values, motives and consequent behavior — appropriate and unacceptable.</li> <li>Let your teenagers listen as you discuss the event with other adults. If they choose to chime in, welcome their participation — even if you might disagree with what they have to say. Simply talking things out will help them to put their concerns into perspective.</li> <li>Sit with them as they watch the news coverage. Comment on what you’re seeing, and listen openly to what they have to say, as well. And as recommended for you and younger children, encourage them to limit their time spent on related content, knowing that for many people, this only adds to their fears.</li> <li>Share your feelings with them. This gives adolescents permission to do the same with you. This means sharing your feelings about mass shootings, the targets of the shootings and issues with use and misuse of firearms. And ask about their feelings about these issues.</li> <li>Discuss the risks of access to guns. Teens are capable of discussing how many guns we have in our nation and whether this is safe or dangerous for society, as well as talking about factors that contribute to gun violence, such as domestic abuse, drugs and alcohol and mental health issues like depression. Access to a gun is one of the biggest risk factors on the list, so engage in conversations about how reduction of firearms and “red flag” laws have been shown to prevent personal violence (suicide) and reduce rates of homicide and mass shootings. Wonder with them about how such actions could reduce hate crimes or domestic terrorism. Discuss the value of background checks and monitoring and regulating sales of firearms, which are steps that most gun owners and gun sellers support.</li> <li>Talk with them about appropriate gun use and gun safety. Teens are old enough to appreciate that firearms in the hands of an angry, impulsive person is dangerous. Talk with them about the appropriate use of firearms, such as for hunting, skeet shooting, target shooting and on the most rare occasions, for self-defense.</li> <li>Ask them about their opinion on assault rifles. Talk with them about why anyone would use one. They are not used for hunting or for sport. Is there any time or reason someone would need to use one?</li> <li>Ask them about their opinion of copycat phenomena. Wonder with them about how media coverage of shootings affect people’s feelings and whether they think some might copy the event, or react negatively.</li> <li>Wonder about risks to people of color. Research shows that people of color are at a much greater risk of being shot or killed by guns. Ask your teens and young adults how people of color, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, as well as other marginalized people such as the LGBTQIA+ population, are at greater risk for violence of all sorts.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>We need to keep our children and society safe. With 40,000 gun-related deaths in our country per year, this is a public health crisis and our children are at risk. One important role we have in preventing needless death by firearms, besides state and national legislation, is having conversations with our youth to help them feel safe and be part of the solution when they become leaders in the future.</p> <p><em>For more information, contact the <a href="https://www.massgeneral.org/gun-violence-prevention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mass General Center

Every Sunday, Scott and Quyen, his childhood sweetheart, who later became his wife, came to Viet’s house in Medford, Mass., and took Viet and his sister Chau out for breakfast sandwiches. Scott taught Viet how to ride a bike. He checked in on him at every family gathering. He became a role model for Viet, setting an example as a hardworking home builder, husband and father of three.\r\n\r\nSo, when Scott was diagnosed with Stage 4 gastrointestinal cancer in July 2022, and died of the illness at the age of 49 in March 2023, the loss rocked Viet and his family. But on April 15, they’re taking their next steps forward together — at the 128th Boston Marathon®.\r\n\r\nIn memory of Scott and to honor the care he received at Mass General Cancer Center’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fgastrointestinal-cancers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ETucker Gosnell Center for Gastrointestinal Cancers,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Viet, Chau and Quyen are all running to raise funds for \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fchildren\u002Fcancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General for Children\u003C\u002Fa\u003E’s pediatric cancer research. The family hopes their efforts make it possible for children with cancer to have access to the same leading-edge treatments that Scott received.\r\n\r\n“It’s a really positive thing for all of us to run this race together, in the hardest year we’ve ever experienced as a family,” says Viet, who, at 27 years old, recently earned a master’s degree in mathematical finance from Boston University. He now works at Fidelity Investments in the firm’s Boston office. “This shows that we can push through grief and be positive and live life to the fullest. What I want is to make sure Scott’s memory lives on through us and his kids.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EFrom Refugee to Role Model\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nScott came from Vietnam to the U.S. in the early 1980s as a refugee. After settling in Philadelphia with his family, Scott came to Boston during high school to work for Viet’s dad at his residential construction company. Viet was born when Scott was in college at Northeastern University, and he has fond memories of Scott and Quyen living at his house before they moved into their own place.\r\n\r\n“He was a really great man,” Viet says. “He married the love of his life, they raised three beautiful children, and he went out and built his own hardwood flooring business over the course of 25 years. But Scott’s biggest motivation was to take care of all of us. It was inspiring for me, growing up and seeing someone prioritize the right things, like caring for his family and making an impact on the community.”\r\n\r\nWhen Scott was diagnosed, Viet says that his care team at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Cancer Center\u003C\u002Fa\u003E did everything they could do to treat his cancer. But, given the advanced nature and progression of Scott’s illness, their care eventually transitioned to focus on Scott’s quality of life for his terminal illness, and on comforting the family.\r\n\r\n“What stands out for me is the support the Mass General Cancer Center team gave to me and family, giving us that time to just be with Scott,” Viet says. “I’ll forever be grateful that we could spend his final few minutes with him. I’m sure they’ve been through that experience with other patients, but I’ll never forget their support.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1072354\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1072354\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FViet-group.jpg\" alt=\"L-R: Quyen (Scott's wife), Chau (Viet's sister), Jeff (Scott's brother), Scott and Viet, at his childhood home in Medford, Mass.\" width=\"350\" height=\"336\" \u002F\u003E Back L-R: Quyen (Scott's wife), Jeff (Scott's brother) and Scott; Front L-R: Chau (Viet's sister) and Viet, at their childhood home in Medford, Mass.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EHonoring a Legacy\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nViet was captain of the track and field team in high school, running the 1600- and 3200-meter races, so completing his hometown marathon had been a dream for a while. When Viet ran the New York Marathon in November 2023, Quyen, who works for Mass General Brigham, sent him information about the hospital’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\"\u003EBoston Marathon team.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E He signed up right away.\r\n\r\n“The care that Scott received at Mass General Cancer Center was second to none, so I knew we’d be supporting a wonderful cause,” Viet says. “This is the best hospital for people looking to get any kind of treatment, and I hope the money we raise helps outcomes for kids with pediatric cancer.”\r\n\r\nThe marathon will be a little more than a year after Scott’s death. Viet remembers one of Scott’s dying wishes was for the Tran-Nguyen family to stick together and look out for each other, so running alongside Chau and Quyen from Hopkinton to Boylston Street seems like a natural way to fulfill that wish.\r\n\r\n“I’m looking forward to that sense of euphoria that comes with running and seeing the crowds,” Viet says. “We’re doing something that’s very difficult, but having family, friends and the people in my life supporting me, my sister and Quyen is going to be an amazing experience.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EIf you would like to support Viet, please visit his

shootings continue to make national news headlines and are a frightening reminder to us all of this “new normal.” We emotionally respond to these horrifying incidents with a sense of terror, fear for our own safety and sadness for the victims and their families.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBeyond our immediate gut reactions, we can expect media coverage to extend across our televisions, radios, computers and mobile devices, as in any crisis. And we can expect that our kids, teenagers and young adults will have varying levels of information about these tragic events, along with their own emotional reactions, questions and concerns.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHow can parents, educators and other caring adults help our young people process acts of gun violence in these moments, when we know they already feel vulnerable? How can we help them live with confidence and self-assurance in the world without constant fear that their everyday life is filled with imminent danger? How can we help them put these tragedies into some perspective?\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAs with any of our caregiver guidelines, first remember that you know your child best. Then, the approach for each child should be developmentally appropriate. What helps a 7-year-old cope with fear and anxiety may not be the same for a 17-year-old.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBelow are some basic tips on how to talk with a child of any age about gun violence.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Ch2\u003ETalking Tips for All Ages\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EControl your own anxiety. Anxiety is contagious and your kids will see this. Use self-care measures to calm yourself down. Research shows that when a parent is calm and under control, they are in the best position to talk with their kids about scary things. If your kids ask you directly about a recent shooting, be honest and express how terrible you feel for these losses and for the victims’ families and communities.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETalk with other adults you trust about gun violence and hate crimes. Sometimes partners, friends, family, clergy or community leaders will help you clarify your own reactions and help you contain your anxiety.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EBe proactive. Limit your own exposure to gun violence by turning off the news coverage and avoiding social media posts focused on violent events. While it is important to stay informed, repeatedly viewing the news stories and related content tends to add to our fears, not reduce them.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EKeep your own home safe from gun violence. Knowing that around one in three homes with children contains at least one firearm, it is critical for gun-owning parents to safely store them away, ideally by locking up the unloaded gun and storing the ammunition in a separate locked location. If you think your children don’t know where you keep your gun(s) or that they know not to play with them, think again. Research and past experience have shown that too many accidental shootings occur in the home by making these assumptions.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETalk with your kids about gun safety rules. If you have guns in the home, be sure to talk with your children of any age about gun safety rules. No child should be able to have any access to firearms without adult supervision. If you have not developed and discussed family rules about the storage, access and use of firearms, please establish them and post them, and have a serious conversation about your rules. Even if you don’t have guns in your home, it is possible that there are firearms at a friend’s home, so it is key that you talk with your young people about gun safety. Likewise, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you ask parents about their own gun safety practices before your child attends a playdate, party, or sleepover at their home.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\n\u003Ch2\u003ETalking Tips by Age Group\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EToddlers and Preschoolers\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EVery young children are more disturbed by their parents’ and caregivers’ distress than by the actual event. They may not fully understand what happened, or they may see it as more than an act on TV. That’s why they’re comforted more by your actions than your words. Be careful how you present yourself to them, both emotionally and in conversation with others. Naturally, they will pick up on your reactions.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EExpect young children to regress a bit emotionally. They may become clingy or whiny, have difficulty sleeping or start wetting their beds. The more patient and reassuring you are, the more quickly these episodes will pass.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETurn off the media. If you wish to watch or listen to news coverage, do so while your very young children are not in the room; they do not yet have the ability to put the frightening images they see into perspective. And if you have conversations about shootings with a partner or older children at home, be sure they are not within ear shot.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\n\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGrade School Children\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EEncourage your school-aged children to share their feelings and concerns with you.

Assure them that it’s all right for them to be upset, and that you’ll do everything you can to protect them from harm.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EAsk what specifically worries them and what they know about the recent shootings. Also, ask where they heard about the shootings. It is very important to know where they get their information.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EIf appropriate, reassure them that you live in a very safe place and that these events are not common, though you do need to admit they are very scary.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ERemember that children often work through emotional issues with play instead of words. Don’t be surprised if your children use toys to replay the images they’ve seen or imagined. This is healthy. It can also give you insights into their fears and misunderstandings.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EExpect that your children might ask the same questions several times. Be patient. Remember that by asking these questions, they’re showing you that they trust you and what you say.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETurn off the media. It is not wise for school-aged kids to follow news coverage of these events. However, if they have already seen or heard about the breaking news, be available to clarify their concerns.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ERemind them that there are more good people in the world than there are bad people, and the good people will always try to take care of and protect them.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETalk about angry feelings and how to manage them. Even school-aged kids know that children and adults get angry and have conflicts, and they have probably seen all sorts of violence in movies, on TV and in real life, such as road rage and angry behavior in their communities. Discuss how anger can be managed and explain that there is never reason to manage anger with violence.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\n\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETeenagers and Young Adults\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EAdolescents may be scared and wonder what this means for the lives they’ll lead as young adults. For example, “Will I be safe in college or in the community where I live and work?” They may struggle with questions about justice, power and the use of weapons —issues that directly relate to violent events. And as parents, young people of color or other marginalized individuals may be particularly worried.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETeenagers are capable of having nuanced discussions and considering issues, values, motives and consequent behavior — appropriate and unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ELet your teenagers listen as you discuss the event with other adults. If they choose to chime in, welcome their participation — even if you might disagree with what they have to say. Simply talking things out will help them to put their concerns into perspective.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ESit with them as they watch the news coverage. Comment on what you’re seeing, and listen openly to what they have to say, as well.

This gives adolescents permission to do the same with you. This means sharing your feelings about mass shootings, the targets of the shootings and issues with use and misuse of firearms. And ask about their feelings about these issues.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EDiscuss the risks of access to guns. Teens are capable of discussing how many guns we have in our nation and whether this is safe or dangerous for society, as well as talking about factors that contribute to gun violence, such as domestic abuse, drugs and alcohol and mental health issues like depression. Access to a gun is one of the biggest risk factors on the list, so engage in conversations about how reduction of firearms and “red flag” laws have been shown to prevent personal violence (suicide) and reduce rates of homicide and mass shootings. Wonder with them about how such actions could reduce hate crimes or domestic terrorism. Discuss the value of background checks and monitoring and regulating sales of firearms, which are steps that most gun owners and gun sellers support.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETalk with them about appropriate gun use and gun safety. Teens are old enough to appreciate that firearms in the hands of an angry, impulsive person is dangerous. Talk with them about the appropriate use of firearms, such as for hunting, skeet shooting, target shooting and on the most rare occasions, for self-defense.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EAsk them about their opinion on assault rifles. Talk with them about why anyone would use one. They are not used for hunting or for sport. Is there any time or reason someone would need to use one?\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EAsk them about their opinion of copycat phenomena. Wonder with them about how media coverage of shootings affect people’s feelings and whether they think some might copy the event, or react negatively.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EWonder about risks to people of color. Research shows that people of color are at a much greater risk of being shot or killed by guns. Ask your teens and young adults how people of color, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, as well as other marginalized people such as the LGBTQIA+ population, are at greater risk for violence of all sorts.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\n\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWe need to keep our children and society safe.

taking care of young patients because of their resilience. It’s amazing to see how they can tolerate big operations and have a relatively quick recovery. Our goal is to stabilize them, help them recover and go on to live a full and normal life. It’s a privilege to take care of someone else’s child and be trusted with that responsibility. I try my best to learn about patients and families, help them navigate this stressful situation and provide reassurance wherever possible.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat inspired you to get involved with Massachusetts General Hospital's \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fpatient-and-family-resources\u002Fsupportive-care\u002Fadolescent-and-young-adult-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EAdolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nAdolescent and young adult patients, who we categorize as between 15 and 39 years old, are thought of as a vulnerable cohort across all cancer types. Overall, their survival rate is worse than both younger and older patients because of a variety of factors — access to care, important life transition points during this period and access to clinical trials. There are likely tumor biology factors in play that we’re still learning about. There is a rising incidence of gastrointestinal cancers in younger people, and we’re seeing more and more rare solid tumors in teenagers that typically occur in older patients.\r\n\r\nThe staggering differences in outcomes for this population are hard to understand in patients who are otherwise healthy. We have a real opportunity at Mass General Brigham to improve care team models and access for patients with rare solid tumors. Through collaboration with colleagues in the adult surgical oncology world, we can provide pediatric and adult surgical expertise, which are both relevant in the care of these vulnerable patients.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“The importance of taking care of the whole person and the complexity of the issues relevant to the AYA population is something that I feel passionate about. The ability to help a young patient — and help a family, as a result — is incredibly rewarding.”\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat goes into the AYA Program? \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nIn the cancer care model, we always talk about multidisciplinary teams. The AYA population benefits from a truly multidisciplinary team that extends beyond traditional branches of medicine. Providers like \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17070\u002Fannah-abrams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EAnnah Abrams, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F20612\u002Fgiselle-perez-lougee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EGiselle Perez-Lougee, PhD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, who both lead the AYA Cancer program, have dedicated expertise in psychosocial support. As a team, we work closely with psychologists, onco-fertility specialists, and social workers, providing counseling for parents, caregivers, partners and siblings who are all dramatically affected by a young patient’s cancer diagnosis.\r\n\r\nOur ability to take care of adolescents and young adults at Mass General is unique because we can bring together pediatric and adult clinicians and prevent patients from falling into the gap between the pediatric and adult worlds. We can also transition their care as they age and face longer-term risk factors. The patients get a dedicated team at Mass General with high-volume, tumor specific expertise and corresponding awareness of age-specific considerations for treatment management and long-term surveillance.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1073801\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"250\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1073801 size-medium\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fdanielle-cameron-md-mph.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" \u002F\u003E Danielle Cameron, MD, MPH[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat research are you pursuing in this field?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nWe’re interested in tumor biobanking to gain a better understanding of the biology of these rare solid pediatric tumors. By comparing those tumors to the samples in our adult tumor biobank, we can compare differences that may exist between young patients and their older counterparts.\r\n\r\nI’m also interested in the long-term outcomes of survivors of pediatric cancer. We know that patients who are survivors of pediatric cancer have long-term health comorbidities, and that they’re at risk for psychosocial distress. Understanding the early interventions and long-term surveillance strategies that can mitigate that risk enhances care. It’s especially relevant for pediatric patients who have their whole lives ahead of them. There are complex health problems that can result from their cancer treatment, and it’s important to realize the effects of the care we deliver.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat drives you?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nThe innocence of a sick child is something everyone can empathize with.

These are often atypical cases that pose real medical mysteries. At Mass General, we are reformulating this definition — shifting the focus from the “who” (the patients we see) to the “how” (the approach we use).\r\n\r\nNeuropsychiatry is characterized by a clinical focus on brain circuits. This focus on brain circuits makes it possible to look at traditional psychiatric or neurological patients with the same integrated clinical framework. It defines our approach to taking a patient’s history, doing an examination, formulating a patient’s presentation, and implementing a treatment plan. Once we start thinking about brain disorders from a circuit perspective, the distinctions between neurology and psychiatry quickly fade away.\r\n\r\nOne of the primary advantages of this approach is that it facilitates the use of treatments beyond traditional options like medications and psychotherapy. Specifically, it allows the use of device neuromodulation therapies, which administer pulses of the same kind of electricity that the brain uses to communicate and form thoughts, to intervene precisely at the level of brain circuits.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat is the advantage of neuromodulation?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nTreatments like medication are helpful but systemic, meaning they affect the entire brain and body at the chemical level. Neuromodulation, however, allows us to target only the brain, and even more precisely, only the specific parts of the brain affected by the condition we are treating.\r\n\r\nNeuromodulation is helping the clinical neurosciences enter the era of precision medicine. Many of the disorders we treat, particularly in psychiatry, are extremely heterogeneous. This is because these diagnoses are labels that often encompass many different diseases. Depression, for example, is not a disease. There are many diseases we collectively call depression and not all of these diseases can be treated with the same approach. We need to find a way to individualize the treatment, and this means not treating diseases, but treating patients. This is something we are starting to do clinically with neuromodulation therapies.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\"I’m particularly excited about our work using neuromodulation to treat suicide. We think we’ve identified a biomarker in the brain that is specific for suicide and are developing a rapid treatment (as rapid as just one day) that targets a new brain region and is proving effective in a clinical trial.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat areas of your research are you seeing advances in? \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nOur current research efforts are focused on developing precision therapies for a wide range of conditions, including suicide, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, OCD, dementia, autism, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury and ALS. In addition, we are also developing new technology and methods to help us identify patient groups that optimally respond to specific treatments, so we can be more targeted when prescribing and avoid long trial-and-error dynamics that keep patients suffering for too long.\r\n\r\nI’m particularly excited about our work using neuromodulation to treat suicide. We think we’ve identified a biomarker in the brain that is specific for suicide and are developing a rapid treatment (as rapid as just one day) that targets a new brain region and is proving effective in a clinical trial.\r\n\r\nWe also have an active trial to develop home-based neuromodulation treatments for executive function deficits, which are commonly associated with ADHD, and do not respond well to medications.\r\n\r\nAs a last example, we are making progress in Alzheimer’s disease. We’re used to thinking about medication when it comes to Alzheimer’s treatment — pills and, more recently, immunological therapies — but our work is looking at the use of neuromodulation devices. Brain waves in patients affected by Alzheimer’s function at a slower rhythm than those in a healthy brain. We are exploring how we can restore these brain waves with smart devices that individualize the treatment to each patient’s specific neural signatures. With further testing, we hope to develop an entirely individualized treatment framework that should be home-based, not requiring patients to come to the hospital.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EHow could increased philanthropic support allow you to expand on this work?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nPhilanthropy has an enormous impact on the work we’re able to do. Traditional funding sources like the National Institute of Health are very conservative and slow and tend to stay away from disruptive, high-risk high-reward ideas that can significantly change patient care in a shorter time span. This is why we need passionate donors who share our mission and sense of urgency, and who want to partner with us in developing creative and innovative solutions in a timely manner.\r\n\r\nBeyond new research, philanthropy helps us ensure there will be a new generation of leaders able to implement and expand these therapies and models of care. Five years ago, we launched the first clinical fellowship in \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fpsychiatry\u002Feducation-and-training\u002Finterventional-neuropsychiatry-and-neuromodulation-fellowship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EInterventional Neuropsychiatry and Neuromodulation\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.

When their grandson was hired as a sales representative for the New England Revolution, the Satows found a meaningful way to combine their love for the sport with their passion for mental health to benefit both their grandson’s career and families navigating mental health challenges.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Our grandson was working hard to promote the team and encourage attendance at games,” Phil says. “We’ve always loved soccer, and we thought attending a game could be a wonderful way for families and patients to step away from the stresses of hospital visits and doctors’ appointments for a day and simply have fun together.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003E“Our work focuses on helping students navigate the emotional complexities of high school and college, equipping them to transition into adulthood and flourish.

In the late 1990s, mental health programs for college students were sparse and primarily reactive, focused on treating issues only after they emerged. Counseling centers, while helpful at treating the symptoms, often lacked a community-focused, preventive approach. Donna and Phil envisioned something radically different: a comprehensive public health model that addressed mental health holistically, integrating prevention, early intervention and support for those in need.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWith guidance from leading experts in public health, education and psychiatry, the Satows developed an \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fjedfoundation.org\u002Four-work\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Einnovative model\u003C\u002Fa\u003E tailored specifically for students on college campuses. Furthermore, The Jed Foundation’s impact is backed by compelling data showing that colleges implementing the Foundation’s programs and services report statistically lower suicide attempt rates and higher graduation rates compared to those that do not.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPhil acknowledges that when The Jed Foundation first introduced its comprehensive program, it was ahead of its time. Mental health was not as openly discussed or widely understood as it is today. Over the years, societal acceptance of mental health issues has grown, and so has the recognition of holistic approaches like The Jed Foundation’s. Their model is now standard practice on many college campuses and is being expanded to high schools across the country, ensuring students are supported earlier in their educational journeys.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhether it is giving families a chance to enjoy quality time together through something as simple as attending a soccer game or transforming the way mental health is addressed on college campuses, the Satows’ efforts consistently emphasize the importance of proactive, comprehensive care, community support and holistic well-being.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Our work focuses on helping students navigate the emotional complexities of high school and college, equipping them to transition into adulthood and flourish,” says Phil. “It’s deeply gratifying to see the difference The Jed Foundation is making.

Here, psychiatric specialists provide timely assessment and therapeutic interventions away from the noise, busyness and bright lights of the ED. Children boarding in the APS awaiting hospitalization are among the most vulnerable patients served and they require specialized support. The APS includes psychiatric care, child life services, occupational therapy, nursing and mental health support and therapy with an APS Child Psychologist.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWith these specialty services, children are receiving higher-quality mental health treatment and care, and many have experienced shorter lengths of stay in the ED.

Her parents were worried about the potential toxicity of the dose, but not about her mental health, as she had never shown any signs of mental distress.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, when the patient spoke with the APS child psychiatrist and child psychologist, she eventually shared she had been having daily thoughts of suicide and engaging in self-injurious behavior for the past eight months. Even though it was upsetting to open up, she shared that she felt like a weight had been lifted, and she went on to receive additional inpatient psychiatric care. The APS child psychiatrist and child psychologist also met with her parents, who were surprised and worried about their daughter, to help educate and empower them with a new plan to support her.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Our goals for our patients are to help them feel seen and validated,” says Dr. Donovan. “We are creating an environment where our patients feel like they are understood and supported, no matter what they are experiencing in that moment. We are letting them know that it is ok to struggle, it is ok to ask for help and we will get them the help they need. If they remember that in the future, that it is ok to ask for help, we’ve done our job.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Ch2\u003EA New Model of Care\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe demand for inpatient psychiatric treatment can exceed the capacity available in Massachusetts, which results in many patients staying in the APS for days as they wait for an inpatient psychiatric hospital bed.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo ensure the APS can meet the demand for its services, it seeks to continue expanding its staff with more mental health professionals from a variety of disciplines, while also creating innovative brief treatments that can be deployed during an emergency department stay and potentially decrease the need for inpatient hospitalization.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPhilanthropy will continue to play a critical role in allowing the APS to leverage these successes into a sustainable model for other hospitals, so patients have access to this type of care wherever they go. Says Dr. Donovan, “What if it didn’t matter what emergency department you went to because you were always guaranteed this type of care? That is what we are ultimately working toward.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003ETo make a gift or learn more about supporting children and families in crisis with lifesaving psychiatric

more than 50 years, Maureen Hackett has lived a life emulating her mother’s commitment to paying it forward. “My mother had a philanthropic heart,” she says. “She gave her wisdom, a hug or a coat — it

She would tell me that ‘the world is bigger than you are, and it is your job to give to those who cannot help themselves.’”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis adage, in addition to witnessing her father’s ongoing battle with major depressive disorder, shaped Maureen’s future as a philanthropist dedicated to providing life-changing support to improve mental health care access.

As a mother to nine children and wife to a husband whose personal struggles inhibited him from working, Maureen’s mother took on the lion’s share of supporting their family. But she always did so with grace and an entrepreneurial spirit, creating opportunities — like opening a school to prepare women for leadership roles — for others to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFollowing in her mother’s footsteps, Maureen explored ways to be more involved with the community and, as a teenager, started volunteering at a local hospital’s psychiatry department, delivering flowers to patients and performing odd jobs in the crisis clinic. It was there that her interest in mental health emerged. “I would meet patients who were dealing with mental health issues, and it made me think of my father,” says Maureen. “It made me want to learn more about his struggles.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Ch2\u003EHonoring a Friend\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMaureen’s new vantage point fueled her lifelong enthusiasm to redefine mental health care.

Over their many summers there, they recognized a need for increased access to mental health services for year-round residents. When NCH became a member of Mass General Brigham, and, therefore, affiliated with Mass General, Maureen spotted an opportunity to tackle this issue by capitalizing on the hospital’s reputation for excellence in psychiatry.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“I knew Mass General was a top-ranked hospital with a world-class psychiatry department, so I was excited,” Maureen says. “I wanted to know more about what made them the best and whether they could help with mental health services on the island.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHer advocacy sent her to Palm Beach, Florida, to attend her first \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fpsychiatry\u002Fleadership-council\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Leadership Council for Psychiatry’s\u003C\u002Fa\u003E annual seminar. There, Maureen met Dr. Rosenbaum, and she made her pitch, describing the mental health needs on Nantucket. As a result of that conversation, Maureen and Dr. Rosenbaum facilitated a connection between leaders from NCH and Mass General’s Psychiatry Department to discuss increased access to mental health services.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Jerry is a great person, and, coincidentally, a friend of my brother, who is a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital,” says Maureen. “I find his research to be compelling.

As members of the Leadership Council for Psychiatry at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, the Satows are passionate advocates for quality mental healthcare because they know firsthand, “no family goes untouched by mental illness,” as the Council motto states.\r\n\r\nIn 1998, the Satows tragically lost their son, Jed, to suicide while he was away at college. Overwhelmed with grief yet driven by a desire to prevent other families from enduring such loss, the couple co-founded \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fjedfoundation.org\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EThe Jed Foundation\u003C\u002Fa\u003E in 2000 with a mission to reduce suicide rates and enhance mental health support for young people on college campuses across the country.\r\n\r\nSince then, their efforts have evolved into a transformative initiative, impacting millions through a collaborative and comprehensive strategy that empowers schools and universities to tackle these critical challenges proactively. Their recent gift to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fpsychiatry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General’s Psychiatry Department\u003C\u002Fa\u003E exemplifies how the Satows' unwavering commitment to mental health transcends the boundaries of college campuses and clinical settings. By creating opportunities for families to share meaningful experiences, they are fostering connection, strengthening bonds and offering moments of healing, joy and respite.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EStrengthening Family Bonds Through a Unique Gift\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDespite the heartache of losing Jed and navigating life after such a profound tragedy, the Satows have remained deeply connected to one another, embracing the healing power of family. Through their journey, they have also gained insight into the struggles families face when dealing with medical conditions or mental health challenges — how hard it can be to carve out quality time amidst the demands of treatments and appointments.\r\n\r\nThe Satows are also big soccer fans. When their grandson was hired as a sales representative for the New England Revolution, the Satows found a meaningful way to combine their love for the sport with their passion for mental health to benefit both their grandson’s career and families navigating mental health challenges.\r\n\r\n“Our grandson was working hard to promote the team and encourage attendance at games,” Phil says. “We’ve always loved soccer, and we thought attending a game could be a wonderful way for families and patients to step away from the stresses of hospital visits and doctors’ appointments for a day and simply have fun together.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“Our work focuses on helping students navigate the emotional complexities of high school and college, equipping them to transition into adulthood and flourish. It’s deeply gratifying to see the difference the Jed Foundation is making.

The funds were specifically designated to purchase tickets to New England Revolution games, allowing patients, their families and faculty to attend free of charge.\r\n\r\n“Everyone thought it was a great idea and a win-win for everyone involved,” Phil says. “It supported the department, gave our grandson a boost in his role, but most importantly, it provided patients and families facing mental health challenges with a unique opportunity to enjoy a special day together away from the hospital.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ETransforming Mental Health on Campus\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nAt its inception, The Jed Foundation faced a daunting challenge. In the late 1990s, mental health programs for college students were sparse and primarily reactive, focused on treating issues only after they emerged. Counseling centers, while helpful at treating the symptoms, often lacked a community-focused, preventive approach. Donna and Phil envisioned something radically different: a comprehensive public health model that addressed mental health holistically, integrating prevention, early intervention and support for those in need.\r\n\r\nWith guidance from leading experts in public health, education and psychiatry, the Satows developed an \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fjedfoundation.org\u002Four-work\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Einnovative model\u003C\u002Fa\u003E tailored specifically for students on college campuses. Furthermore, The Jed Foundation’s impact is backed by compelling data showing that colleges implementing the Foundation’s programs and services report statistically lower suicide attempt rates and higher graduation rates compared to those that do not.\r\n\r\nPhil acknowledges that when The Jed Foundation first introduced its comprehensive program, it was ahead of its time. Mental health was not as openly discussed or widely understood as it is today. Over the years, societal acceptance of mental health issues has grown, and so has the recognition of holistic approaches like The Jed Foundation’s. Their model is now standard practice on many college campuses and is being expanded to high schools across the country, ensuring students are supported earlier in their educational journeys.\r\n\r\nWhether it is giving families a chance to enjoy quality time together through something as simple as attending a soccer game or transforming the way mental health is addressed on college campuses, the Satows’ efforts consistently emphasize the importance of proactive, comprehensive care, community support and holistic well-being.\r\n\r\n“Our work focuses on helping students navigate the emotional complexities of high school and college, equipping them to transition into adulthood and flourish,” says Phil. “It’s deeply gratifying to see the difference The Jed Foundation is making. We’re not just changing lives; we’re saving them.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how to support the groundbreaking work at Mass General Psychiatry, please \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Alex+Dippold&about=Mass+General+Psychiatry\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E","2025-01-13 10:16:03","2025-01-13 15:16:03","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1077373","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4-220x220.jpg","\u003Cimg width=\"1328\" height=\"992\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4.jpg 1328w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1328px) 100vw, 1328px\" style=\"width:100%;height:74.7%;max-width:1328px;\" \u002F\u003E","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4-300x224.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fphil-donna-satow-banner-v4-1024x765.jpg",{},Array(1),Array(1),Array(1),Array(2),Array(1),"2024-10-14 10:50:51","2024-10-14 14:50:51","With global levels of anxiety and depression continuing to increase at alarming rates among children and adolescents, emergency psychiatric care is needed more than ever before.

Here, psychiatric specialists provide timely assessment and therapeutic interventions away from the noise, busyness and bright lights of the ED. Children boarding in the APS awaiting hospitalization are among the most vulnerable patients served and they require specialized support. The APS includes psychiatric care, child life services, occupational therapy, nursing and mental health support and therapy with an APS Child Psychologist.\r\n\r\nWith these specialty services, children are receiving higher-quality mental health treatment and care, and many have experienced shorter lengths of stay in the ED. They are also being discharged to their homes with resources for their families to better understand their needs long-term. All of these successes are possible in large part because of philanthropy.\r\n\r\n“Support from our community of donors ensures we can offer this full spectrum of services during this national mental health crisis,” says \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F18047\u002Fabigail-donovan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EAbigail Donovan, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, medical director of the APS and director of Child Psychiatry Emergency Services at Mass General. “This is a care differentiator here that does not exist in many other hospitals — and the need for this specialty psychiatric support at Mass General is not going away anytime soon.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1073801\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"416\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1073801 size-medium\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fabigail-donovan-md.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" \u002F\u003E Abigail Donovan, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EPatient Impact Spotlight\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nRecently, a 12-year-old patient came to the ED at Mass General because she had taken too much headache medicine. Her parents were worried about the potential toxicity of the dose, but not about her mental health, as she had never shown any signs of mental distress.\r\n\r\nHowever, when the patient spoke with the APS child psychiatrist and child psychologist, she eventually shared she had been having daily thoughts of suicide and engaging in self-injurious behavior for the past eight months. Even though it was upsetting to open up, she shared that she felt like a weight had been lifted, and she went on to receive additional inpatient psychiatric care. The APS child psychiatrist and child psychologist also met with her parents, who were surprised and worried about their daughter, to help educate and empower them with a new plan to support her.\r\n\r\n“Our goals for our patients are to help them feel seen and validated,” says Dr. Donovan. “We are creating an environment where our patients feel like they are understood and supported, no matter what they are experiencing in that moment. We are letting them know that it is ok to struggle, it is ok to ask for help and we will get them the help they need. If they remember that in the future, that it is ok to ask for help, we’ve done our job.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA New Model of Care\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThe demand for inpatient psychiatric treatment can exceed the capacity available in Massachusetts, which results in many patients staying in the APS for days as they wait for an inpatient psychiatric hospital bed.\r\n\r\nTo ensure the APS can meet the demand for its services, it seeks to continue expanding its staff with more mental health professionals from a variety of disciplines, while also creating innovative brief treatments that can be deployed during an emergency department stay and potentially decrease the need for inpatient hospitalization.\r\n\r\nPhilanthropy will continue to play a critical role in allowing the APS to leverage these successes into a sustainable model for other hospitals, so patients have access to this type of care wherever they go. Says Dr. Donovan, “What if it didn’t matter what emergency department you went to because you were always guaranteed this type of care? That is what we are ultimately working toward.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo make a gift or learn more about supporting children and families in crisis with lifesaving psychiatric care, as well as education and support for their loved ones, please \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact?route_to=Molly%20McCarthy&about=Acute%20Psychiatry%20Service\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E","2024-10-22 11:39:20","2024-10-22 15:39:20","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1075721","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fimproving-mental-health-crisis-banner-220x220.jpg","\u003Cimg width=\"1328\" height=\"986\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fimproving-mental-health-crisis-banner.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fimproving-mental-health-crisis-banner.jpg 1328w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fimproving-mental-health-crisis-banner-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fimproving-mental-health-crisis-banner-1024x760.jpg 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fimproving-mental-health-crisis-banner-768x570.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1328px) 100vw, 1328px\" style=\"width:100%;height:74.25%;max-width:1328px;\" \u002F\u003E","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fimproving-mental-health-crisis-banner-300x223.jpg",{},Array(1),Array(1),Array(1),Array(3),Array(1),"2024-10-14 10:50:06","2024-10-14 14:50:06","For more than 50 years, Maureen Hackett has lived a life emulating her mother’s commitment to paying it forward. “My mother had a philanthropic heart,” she says. “She gave her wisdom, a hug or a coat — it didn’t matter what, as long as someone needed it. She would tell me that ‘the world is bigger than you are, and it is your job to give to those who cannot help themselves.’”\r\n\r\nThis adage, in addition to witnessing her father’s ongoing battle with major depressive disorder, shaped Maureen’s future as a philanthropist dedicated to providing life-changing support to improve mental health care access. Most recently, she and her husband, Jim Hackett, through their Hackett Family Foundation, established the Jerrold F. Rosenbaum, MD, Endowed Chair in Psychiatry, named in honor of friend and former \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Psychiatrist-in-Chief, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fresearchers.mgh.harvard.edu\u002Fprofile\u002F1755898\u002FJerrold-Rosenbaum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EJerrold “Jerry” Rosenbaum, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Curious Philanthropist is Born\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nMaureen’s upbringing was not without its hardships. As a mother to nine children and wife to a husband whose personal struggles inhibited him from working, Maureen’s mother took on the lion’s share of supporting their family. But she always did so with grace and an entrepreneurial spirit, creating opportunities — like opening a school to prepare women for leadership roles — for others to succeed.\r\n\r\nFollowing in her mother’s footsteps, Maureen explored ways to be more involved with the community and, as a teenager, started volunteering at a local hospital’s psychiatry department, delivering flowers to patients and performing odd jobs in the crisis clinic. It was there that her interest in mental health emerged. “I would meet patients who were dealing with mental health issues, and it made me think of my father,” says Maureen. “It made me want to learn more about his struggles.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EHonoring a Friend\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nMaureen’s new vantage point fueled her lifelong enthusiasm to redefine mental health care. This especially became evident when she served on the board at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fnantuckethospital.org\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ENantucket Cottage Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E (NCH), a member of \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneralbrigham.org\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Brigham\u003C\u002Fa\u003E (MGB), and her connection with Dr. Rosenbaum.\r\n\r\nFor the better part of 40 years, Maureen and Jim have spent time visiting Nantucket and consider the island an extension of their home in Texas. Over their many summers there, they recognized a need for increased access to mental health services for year-round residents. When NCH became a member of Mass General Brigham, and, therefore, affiliated with Mass General, Maureen spotted an opportunity to tackle this issue by capitalizing on the hospital’s reputation for excellence in psychiatry.\r\n\r\n“I knew Mass General was a top-ranked hospital with a world-class psychiatry department, so I was excited,” Maureen says. “I wanted to know more about what made them the best and whether they could help with mental health services on the island.”\r\n\r\nHer advocacy sent her to Palm Beach, Florida, to attend her first \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fpsychiatry\u002Fleadership-council\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Leadership Council for Psychiatry’s\u003C\u002Fa\u003E annual seminar. There, Maureen met Dr. Rosenbaum, and she made her pitch, describing the mental health needs on Nantucket. As a result of that conversation, Maureen and Dr. Rosenbaum facilitated a connection between leaders from NCH and Mass General’s Psychiatry Department to discuss increased access to mental health services.\r\n\r\n“Jerry is a great person, and, coincidentally, a friend of my brother, who is a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital,” says Maureen. “I find his research to be compelling. He’s done a lot to increase access and elevate care for Mass General Brigham patients.”\r\n\r\nIn 2024, Maureen’s admiration for Dr. Rosenbaum, and his willingness to take action on behalf of those in need of mental health care, propelled the Hacketts to support the creation of the endowed chair in Jerry’s honor in the spring of 2024.\r\n\r\nThe position — currently held by inaugural incumbent \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17051\u002Fjordan-smoller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EJordan Smoller, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, a psychiatrist, epidemiologist and geneticist in the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fpsychiatry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDepartment of Psychiatry\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at Mass General and the Tepper Family MGH Research Scholar 2014-2019 — provides enduring support to advance the chair holder’s educational efforts to train the next generation of clinician-researchers and make progress in their own research.

For patients, they aim to offer increased integrative medicine services — things like acupuncture and reiki. “The research has shown that when pain is better managed and patients’ level of stress is decreased, that their quality and length of life are greatly improved,” says Dr. Curran. But, she explains, with these services not always covered by insurance, the Center needs the support of donors in order to offer them to patients.\r\n\r\n“There are also many services offered by the state for children with complex and life-limiting diagnoses, but it can be extraordinarily difficult for families to know what they qualify for and how to apply for them,” Dr. Curran says. That’s where a resource specialist comes in, to do the work of identifying and accessing resources for families, to coordinate with school nurses and guidance counselors to ensure a child’s needs are being met at school and to assist families facing financial, social or linguistic barriers to accessing support services.\r\n\r\nFor Maya and her family, services that connect them to other families going through similar experiences would be greatly impactful. Maya’s younger brother, Miles, is only one year old, and Kathryn expresses that connecting him with other siblings as he gets older could really help him feel understood. “Miles loves Maya so much and is her smallest but biggest advocate, but it can be really isolating,” she says. “He already understands that this is our normal — appointments that often require a full day of travel, therapists in and out of the house, and ICU stays — but I think for all of us, feeling like there are other families we can connect with that ‘get it’ would be so helpful.”\r\n\r\n“We serve a particularly vulnerable population,” Dr. Davidoff says. “Our services are invaluable to improving the lives of our patients and their families, and there’s no one else doing the work that the Center for Courageous Kids is doing to support them — we are the clinic for pediatric patients for whom there is no designated clinic.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo support the Center for Courageous Kids at Mass General for Children, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fdonate\u002Fcourageous-kids\"\u003Eclick here.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E","2025-01-29 12:06:10","2025-01-29 17:06:10","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1074752","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids-220x220.jpg","\u003Cimg width=\"1328\" height=\"986\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids.jpg 1328w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids-1024x760.jpg 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids-768x570.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1328px) 100vw, 1328px\" style=\"width:100%;height:74.25%;max-width:1328px;\" \u002F\u003E","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids-300x223.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids-1024x760.jpg",{},Array(1),Array(1),Array(1),Array(4),228,Array(1),556,"Neurology","neurology","\u003Cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW244104853 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW244104853 BCX0\"\u003EOur mission is to provide superior clinical care while rapidly discovering treatments to reduce and eliminate the devastating impact of neurological disorders.\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"EOP SCXW244104853 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\"\u003E \u003C\u002Fspan\u003E",64,"We are driven to unlock the mysteries of the brain to improve patient outcomes.",86,"page_role-where-to-give-page","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcommunityhealthbanner-scaled.jpg","2021-06-03T02:30:19+00:00","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwp-json\u002Fwp\u002Fv2\u002Fpages\u002F1058063","story_type-donor-story","cwilliams92@mgb.org","2024-08-13 15:43:04","Christina","Williams","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwp-json\u002Fwp\u002Fv2\u002Fusers\u002F643","story_type-patient-story","Carr","Lauren","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fpassion-philanthropy-mental-health-banner-1024x760.jpg",623,"https:\u002F\u002Fsecure.gravatar.com\u002Favatar\u002F89ddb2007e312b6575ace7149c3cdf1b?s=96&d=mm&r=g","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FRS65949_RS65925_MGH_201111_PediSurg_1540-lpr-scr.jpg","2021-06-16T17:33:00+00:00","donation",{},"Give hope.

Dr. Maus’s lab has set up a team of collaborating scientists and expert personnel to rapidly bring next generation genetically modified T-cells from the bench to clinical trials in patients with cancer.\r\n\r\n“We’ve made an investment in developing the team to enable translation of our innovations in immunotherapy from our lab to the clinic, to transform care for patients with cancer,” said Dr. Maus. “These results are exciting, but they are also just the beginning — they tell us that we are on the right track in pursuing a therapy that has the potential to change the outlook for this intractable disease. We haven’t cured patients yet, but that is our audacious goal.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EFrom CAR T to CAR-TEAM\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nCAR T-cell therapy works by using a patient's own cells to fight cancer — it is known as the most personalized way to treat cancer. A patient's cells are extracted, modified to produce proteins on their surface called chimeric antigen receptors, and then injected back into the body to target the tumor directly. Cells used in this study were manufactured by the Connell and O’Reilly Families Cell Manipulation Core Facility of the Dana-Farber\u002FHarvard Cancer Center.\r\n\r\nCAR T therapies have been approved for the treatment of blood cancers but the therapy’s use for solid tumors is limited. Solid tumors contain mixed populations of cells, allowing some cancer cells to continue to evade the immune system’s detection, even after treatment with CAR T. Dr. Maus’s team is working to overcome this challenge of tumor heterogeneity with an innovative strategy that combines two previously separate strategies: CAR T and bispecific antibodies, known as T-cell engaging antibody molecules (TEAMs). The version of CAR-TEAM for glioblastoma is designed to be directly injected into a patient’s brain.\r\n\r\nDr. Maus and colleagues previously developed CAR T-cells to target a common cancer mutation known as EGFRvIII, but when that alone had limited effects, her team engineered these CAR T-cells to deliver TEAMs against wild-type EGFR, which is not detected in normal brain tissue but is expressed in more than 80 percent of cases of GBM.\r\n\r\nThe combination approach showed promise in preclinical models of glioblastoma, encouraging the research team to pursue clinical translation.

All patients were observed in the hospital before discharge.\r\n\r\nThe authors note that despite the remarkable responses among the first three patients, they observed eventual tumor progression in all the cases, though in one case, there was no progression for over six months. Progression corresponded in part with the limited persistence of the CAR-TEAM cells over the weeks following infusion. As a next step, the team is considering serial infusions or preconditioning with chemotherapy to prolong the response.\r\n\r\n“We report a dramatic and rapid response in these three patients.

During her junior year of high school, she committed to Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass., excited to take her next steps as a student-athlete. But a year later, tragedy put that ambition on hold: in the fall of 2017, Hailey came home from practice to find her father unresponsive after suffering a fatal heart attack. Despite the outstanding response and care of emergency medical technicians and physicians who tried to revive him, Hailey’s dad passed away.\r\n\r\nWatching the emergency workers during the heartbreak of that day and its aftermath inspired Hailey to pivot toward another dream — to become a nurse. She’s now working in the observation unit at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E’s emergency department, where stable emergency patients go for X-rays, MRIs, echocardiograms, medications and other tests. This year, she will also use her athletic skills to raise funds for \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Femergency-medicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Eemergency response\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at Mass General, running the Boston Marathon® on April 15 in honor of the first responders who helped her family.\r\n\r\n“The people who responded that day played a big role in my life,” says Hailey, who grew up in Wakefield, Mass. “Now, working in the ED, I get to see how my colleagues as nurses and providers can really impact patients and families.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003E“You’re Going to be a Nurse, just like Your Mom.”\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nHailey’s mother and three aunts are nurses and have covered all sorts of nursing specialties over their careers — home health, medical-surgical floors, outpatient surgeries, even prisons — so it was natural that as far back as elementary school, Hailey wanted to be a nurse. Unfortunately, not many Division I colleges and universities offer nursing programs for a student-athlete. When it was time to choose between pursuing a nursing degree or continuing her soccer career, Hailey thought: “I can always go back to school, but I’ll never get the chance to play soccer in college again.”\r\n\r\nAfter her father died, though, Hailey didn’t feel the same about soccer; she had lost one of her biggest cheerleaders.\r\n\r\n“It felt like the reason I played was gone,” Hailey says. “He never missed a game. He was so supportive on and off the field — my athletics, my schoolwork, always wanting the best for me and my brother. And he would always say, ‘You’re going to be a nurse, just like your mom.’”\r\n\r\nHailey took a postgraduate year at Phillips Academy — Andover in Andover, Mass., to reflect and think about what she wanted before starting college. Ultimately, she decided to take on both dreams at Regis College in Weston, Mass. At Regis, Hailey was able to major in nursing and play soccer all four years. Shortly after graduation in May 2023, she took and passed the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX). She started her job at Mass General in August of that year.\r\n\r\n“In college, I didn’t know what type of nurse I wanted to be. It was so hard to choose between the different specialties,” Hailey says. “When I was applying to jobs, I got to shadow in the observation unit. I just knew I wanted to work here — it felt like things were coming full circle, that I could be like the first responders who were there for us.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Starting Line of a New Career\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nMarathon training has become a family affair, as Hailey’s brother — who is in the Navy — has completed some long runs with her and Hailey’s mom has assembled gift baskets to help her fundraising efforts. She knows her father would have been right by her side as well.\r\n\r\n“He would be all-in on this, sending me messages for pre-run pump up and posting about it on social media,” Hailey says. “He was so proud of my brother and me.”\r\n\r\nEven with her athletic background, Hailey doesn’t consider herself a runner and isn’t going into her first marathon with many expectations. “I just want to finish it,” she says. “I want to enjoy the whole experience and embrace every part of it.” For her, the real emphasis of the race is how much she can raise to support those in the emergency department — people who helped her and her family in one of their hardest moments, and who are now her colleagues.\r\n\r\n“I want people to know how much I respect and admire anyone who goes into the nursing profession, especially in the ED,” Hailey says. “I know it isn’t an easy job, but I get to see firsthand how amazing my colleagues are with patients and families. I feel lucky to start my career as a nurse here.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EIf you would like to support Hailey, please visit her \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.givengain.com\u002Fproject\u002Fhailey-raising-funds-for-massachusetts-general-hospital-66119\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Efundraising page.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about Mass General’s marathon team, \u003C\u002Fem\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003Eclick here\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cem\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E","She Found Comfort From Emergency Responders — Then Became One","After her father died of a heart attack, Hailey Lovell deferred one dream to pursue another.

That tumor had grown to about seven centimeters — the size of a peach.\r\n\r\nWhat followed was an emergency caesarean section at Massachusetts General Hospital, the birth of her son Bodhi, a nine-week stay in the Mass General for Children (MGfC) NICU and two surgeries with \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F23088\u002Fdanielle-cameron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDanielle Cameron, MD, MPH\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, to remove the teratoma and reconstruct Bodhi’s buttocks. Six months later, Elizabeth says her initial sense of utter denial has now morphed into immense gratitude.\r\n\r\n“Bodhi beat all odds in everything,” says Elizabeth, who lives in her East Bridgewater childhood home with her husband Cameron, Bodhi and her parents. “Without Dr. Cameron and the whole Mass General team, from the NICU to special care, he wouldn’t be here.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Heroic Effort\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nBodhi’s tumor had ruptured in utero, which likely spurred Elizabeth’s premature delivery. The large size of the mass and its rapid growth also caused symptoms in the latter half of her pregnancy, as she gained 70 pounds in mostly amniotic fluid. Elizabeth could only work about two hours during her shifts at the local Market Basket grocery store because her legs would become numb from the amount of fluid in her body.\r\n\r\nElizabeth went to her local hospital after her water broke and, 30 minutes later, she was at Mass General, where doctors had monitored her condition throughout pregnancy with weekly ultrasounds. When Bodhi’s tumor ruptured, doctors performed the emergency C-section. Dr. Cameron was at the delivery and saw that Bodhi had lost a significant amount of blood.\r\n\r\n“He was in critical condition when he was delivered,” Dr. Cameron says. “It was a heroic effort on behalf of all the teams involved — obstetrics, neonatology and the pediatric surgery team —to stabilize him and get him up to the NICU.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ERays of Hope\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nAbout an hour after Bodhi was born, a MGfC pediatric surgery team of Dr. Cameron and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fchildren\u002Fdoctors\u002F21075\u002Fcornelia-griggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECornelia Griggs, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, performed the first operation to remove the external component of the teratoma, which had been stealing Bodhi’s blood supply. At this point, the team had done everything they could, and then came the hardest part: waiting for Bodhi to survive to the second surgery to remove the internal part of the teratoma and reconstruct his back.\r\n\r\n“Being postpartum and not hearing a crying baby is the saddest thing. Part of you is just missing,” Elizabeth says. “I even said goodbye to him at one point after his first surgery, because we weren’t sure he was going to make it through the night. A nurse said to me, ‘Don’t say goodbye. We’re going to bring him back.’”\r\n\r\nBodhi did indeed come back. A month later, he was ready for the second surgery. Elizabeth and Cameron were prepared for more difficult news after Dr. Cameron operated on Bodhi again. But they found rays of hope: Dr. Cameron had successfully removed the internal tumor and reconstructed his backside. “Dr. Cameron had to essentially build him a bum,” Elizabeth says. “It’s the perfect little baby bum.” Bodhi was also continent, which isn’t a guarantee in these cases.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Happy, Healthy Little Sidekick\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nBodhi is now a healthy 7-month-old, eating solid foods, snuggling his parents and laughing at Sesame Street characters. Elizabeth calls him her little sidekick, and he visits Mass General for Children every few months for follow-up appointments. “He’s always with me,” she says. “I love that kid.”\r\n\r\nThe family has also discovered happy connections with Dr. Cameron. Dr. Cameron studied philosophy in college, so she knew immediately that Elizabeth and Cameron had selected the name from the Sanskrit word for enlightenment. There was also the match between Cameron’s first name and Dr. Cameron’s last name, and Cameron’s mother’s first name — Danielle.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1071669\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1071669 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fbodhi-toy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" \u002F\u003E Bodhi is now a healthy 7-month-old, eating solid foods, snuggling his parents and laughing at Sesame Street characters.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“It felt surreal,” Elizabeth says. “When we went into the first surgery, she told us, ‘I promise, I’m going to take care of him like he’s my own.’ As the relationship grew, it clicked; she really meant that.”\r\n\r\n“The multidisciplinary care that Bodhi received, from the moment he arrived in the world, is the perfect example of what Mass General has to offer,” Dr. Cameron says. “On a floor in one tower, a mother can deliver; on another floor, the baby can have an emergent and lifesaving operation. While she was recovering from childbirth, she could visit her son and be integrated in his care from day one.\r\n\r\n“One of the reasons I became a pediatric surgeon is I love the dynamic of taking care of young patients and getting to bond with their families,” she adds. “Young and resilient patients like Bodhi are really inspiring. That they can have a life-changing operation and go on to have a normal life is one of the most gratifying parts of the job.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo support pediatric surgery at Mass General for Children, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fdonate?re_fund=024118&designation=Pediatric%20Surgery&is_designation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Eclick here\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E","Saving Bodhi","When Bodhi Heath was born 10 weeks early with a tumor on his tailbone, Mass General for Children’s Danielle Cameron, MD, MPH and a pediatric surgical team helped him beat the odds.
