The Rose Fund in memory of Dr. Alyssa Rose Lillian

Dr. Alyssa Lillian was a bright light at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center—a dedicated pediatric resident whose warmth, joy, and deep empathy touched every child and family she cared for. She had a gift for making children feel safe and seen, and she approached every patient with both clinical excellence and a full heart. Supporting pediatric patients and their families was her calling.

To continue the work she so passionately believed in, the Lillian family has created The Rose Fund in Memory of Dr. Alyssa Rose Lillian. This fund will directly support programs that bring healing and comfort to children and families, including Child Life services, the new facility dog program, and sibling support groups through the Palliative Care Program.

Alyssa believed in caring for the whole child—and the whole family. Your gift in her memory will help continue her mission and ensure her legacy of compassion lives on in the halls of the hospital she loved.
