During National Heart Month and Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Awareness Week, our friends and local Angel Heart family Hearts for Isabella partner with Eric Jones of Sculpting for Smiles to create incredible snow sculptures for the children at Golisano Children’s Hospital of Rochester.
From the comfort of their rooms, patients get to watch the creations come to life - bringing joy, distraction, and so many smiles during a difficult time.
We are so proud of this amazing heart family from our community and love seeing the extra light they shine on CHD awareness each year. 🤍
