Three Midlands students recently helped fund and assemble a specially equipped mini-car for pediatric patient Cailum Gibson, age 2, who received and had a test ride in his car on Tuesday, June 27 at Children’s Hospital in Columbia, SC.This is the first mini-car presented to a Midlands patient, who happens to be the child of a Prisma Health Richland team member, Kia Gibson. Fundraising and learning about the mini-cars has been a service project of Carson and Kate Turner (ages 10 and 8, children of team member Justin Turner) and Dalton Boswell (12). The kids raised money door-to-door in their Columbia neighborhood and helped create a short social media video to support their effort. They raised enough funds to ultimately equip to two mini-cars.Cailum was born with a rare genetic disorder, Joubert Syndrome, that affects his brain development as well as his mobility. Working with the Go Baby Go program, Prisma Health orthotists and prosthetists customized the ride-on toy car for Cailum to accommodate his mobility challenges so he can ride in it to play and socialize more easily, especially outdoors.Kia, Cailum’s mother, said, “I knew this would be perfect for Cailum as soon as I learned about the program. He loves being outdoors and until now we’ve needed to carry him or push him in a stroller to be outside. I am so grateful to Carson, Dalton and Kate and to my Prisma Health family for making this possible for my son.”Prisma Health’s Go Baby Go program gave away its first customized mini-cars last December in Greenville and was intended to roll out slowly in Columbia and Greenville as funding and volunteers became available. Each car is modified by volunteers and evaluated by a clinical engineering team and then given free of charge to families or recipient organizations. Thank you to our volunteers, staff, and community for making this possible for our patient, Cailum! #PrismaHealthProud #PrismaHealthPediatrics

Prisma Health is doing a study titled FASTEST to see if a drug, called rFVIIa can help reduce bleeding in the brain for stroke patients suffering an acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Patients in the study will be randomly assigned to either the new drug or a placebo, along with the best standard of care. The study includes adults aged 18 to 80 with sudden brain bleeding and starts treatment within two hours of the stroke. If patients are unconscious and can't give consent, doctors will try to contact family members to decide about joining the study. Because acute ICH is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate treatment, some patients will be enrolled without consent if unconscious or a family member or other representative is not readily available. Please view the video and provide feedback about this study: https://bit.ly/3VfM1bd
