Dairy Queen locations across Connecticut, excluding Fairfield County.Meet Our 2026 CMN Champion, Ellie
For Ellie, visiting the hospital doesn’t feel scary. It feels familiar. It means seeing her favorite doctors, laughing with staff who know her well, and playing video games in her dad’s office at Connecticut Children’s Family Resource Center.
Ellie was born with Down syndrome and several medical conditions that affect her health and development. She has a congenital heart defect that limits her stamina, a thyroid condition that requires regular blood tests and daily medication, and low muscle tone that contributes to gastrointestinal challenges. From the very beginning, Ellie’s life has been shaped by the need for ongoing, coordinated care—and by a healthcare community that has supported her every step of the way.
