"As a born and raised Bills fan myself, the outpouring of support from fans across the globe after Patricia's passing last year was a wonderful reminder of who we are – the city of good neighbors," said Allegra C. Jaros, president, Oishei Children's Hospital. "Yesterday we were proud to honor the outpouring of support from the bills fans, by unveiling the 'Patricia Allen Pediatric Recovery Wing' and 'Bills Fans Fun Zone' to Josh Allen and his family. It will forever be a special part of Oishei Children's Hospital."

Patricia Allen passed away on Nov. 7, 2020, the night before the Bills hosted Seattle. Her grandson made the decision to suit up that Sunday. Allen completed 30-of-38 passes for 415 yards and three touchdowns in a 44-34 victory over the Seahawks. The Firebaugh, Calif., native also found the end zone on the ground in the win.
