Even on the days when a patient gets a depressing diagnosis or things seem to be going wrong, people around here have a way of believing in the power of a smile to help make things OK.
That’s what happened when doctors, nurses, patients and staff from Cincinnati Children’s got together to put our own spin on rapper Flo Rida’s hit “Good Feeling.”
We hope the video below (that we had so much fun making!) gives you a good feeling too!
We’d love your help to spread the joy – please share the YouTube link on your social media channels and let everyone know why you’re smiling today.

My daughter would have loved to see this happen on one of her appointment days. It looked like lots of fun. Thanks for taking great care of my daughter and the rest of the kids.

I just got this video today! I cried because of how happy it made me. My son Trennor has his life to look forward to because one of the GI Surgeons there did not give up and thought outside of the box! We love Cincinnati Children’s. Thank you for all you do!
