TOMS RIVER – Jacianna Muldrow, 7, of Toms River, a pediatric patient at The Unterberg Children’s Hospital at Monmouth Medical Center, part of the Children’s Health network of RWJBarnabas Health, was recognized as a “Rock Star” at a recent New Jersey Devils game at the Prudential Center.
Born with sickle cell disease, which can cause anemia, pain crises and other serious complications, Jacianna receives regular treatment and support from the Valerie Fund Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Monmouth Medical Center.
A collaboration between the New Jersey Devils and Official Health Care Provider, RWJBarnabas Health, the Rock Star program is an immersive VIP gameday experience that shines a spotlight on a pediatric patient battling health challenges, while also recognizing their support system, including their family and care team.
Jacianna’s special game day experience included suite access, an in-game PA read and tribute on the video board, participation in the pre-game high five line as the Devils players entered the ice, and a post-game meet and greet with her favorite New Jersey Devils player, Luke Hughes.
An active kid, Jacianna enjoys gymnastics, swimming and the New Jersey Devils. Today, thanks to her incredible family support system and a compassionate care team, Jacianna is managing her condition with courage and bravery.
