<h2><strong> </strong><strong>Blythedale is New York State’s only independent, specialty children’s hospital.

<h2><br /><br /><span style="color:#5f497a;"><strong>Proceeds </strong>from the event will support our <strong>Parent and Family Education Program</strong>. Blythedale offers tailored education and training so families can feel comfortable taking their child home. If a child relies on medical technology, such as a ventilator, our staff engages caregivers in a thorough program of education - beginning on day one - so they become confident and adept in all aspects of equipment use, from general operations to cleaning and maintenance. Our innovative education program divides what initially seems like an overwhelming learning curve into tiny steps. From babies and children with lung, heart or neurological conditions, genetic or physical anomalies, from the preemie who has never been home to the child who has suffered an accident or medical crisis, Blythedale brings together multiple disciplines and specialties to teach parents to become caregivers so their kids can come home and heal supported by their family and community.</span></h2>
