To celebrate the move of our Pediatric Surgery division to the Pediatric Specialty Clinic, the division was visited by Kentucky Children's Hospital mascot, Stitches. Stitches is a big, huggable, loveable kitten and a baby UK Wildcat who frequently appears at the hospital to help children feel better and get well sooner. Here, Dr. Iocono shares a moment with Stitches. The Pediatric Specialty Clinic is located on the second floor of the Kentucky Clinic at 740 South Limestone Street.
