Pat Rice and Claire Fitzgerald, beloved husband-and-wife volunteers, spent more than 20 years cuddling NICU babies at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. Claire offered a gentle, grandmotherly touch, while Pat was known for his soothing Irish tunes. Their legacy lives on through a book cart created in their honor, featuring a poem Pat wrote—reminding us all of the power of love and presence in the healing process.
What started as a volunteer role at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford became a lifelong calling for Jacqueline Arroliga, now a charge nurse in the Maternity Unit. Her story of compassion, perseverance, and dedication proves that even the smallest acts of kindness can shape a career and change lives. When Jacqueline Arroliga first stepped through the doors of Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in 2009, she didn’t know she was walking into her future.
