A 10-year-old girl in West Palm Beach celebrated beating leukemia with a special ceremony this week. The girl, identified as Camila, rang the bell at St. Mary’s Pediatric Hospital to mark the end of her treatment.
The celebration continued outside the hospital, where Camila signed a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office pink patrol car. Deputies and therapy dogs turned out to mark the occasion.
Bell-ringing ceremonies are a long-standing tradition at hospitals across the country, often signaling that a young patient has completed chemotherapy or other treatment. The event offered a bright moment for families at St. Mary’s, which treats children from across the region.
