More than 3,500 parents and kids had a blast at Valley Medical Center's "You Are Remarkable" Children's Celebration March 3 at the ShoWare Center.

The event commemorated four VMC milestones: the 10th anniversary of Valley's Birth Center and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; fifth anniversary of Valley's Midwives Clinic; the addition of Valley Women's Healthcare in Auburn; and the official launch of "Pitter Patter," VMC's free, new health and wellness program for those planning a pregnancy, new and expecting parents, and those with preschool-age children.

The event featured bouncy houses, a giant rock-climbing wall, terrific music, arts and crafts, a safety fair, face painting, free kid-friendly and healthy refreshments.
