Blythedale is New York State’s only independent, specialty children’s hospital. Our caring and highly specialized staff is dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of children with complex medical illnesses and conditions. Our Board Certified physicians, experienced nurses and supporting clinicians work with families to provide individualized, intensive and innovative medical and therapeutic care. Together with specialized school curricula and family support services, we help children achieve their rehabilitative goals and return to their communities.

Proceeds from the event will support our Parent and Family Education Program. 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.

The Blythedale Virtual 5K Run/Walk/Bike is being organized by the Blythedale Advisory Council (BAC)! The BAC is made up of young professionals who are committed to Blythedale’s mission and want to make a difference in the lives of children with complex medical conditions.
