Every Helen DeVos Children's Hospital patient and family has a unique story to tell. Personal stories are powerful testimonials to the positive impact our hospital has on children and families.

We appreciate you sharing your story, but please be aware that we will not be able to use every story received. Ways we could use your story include newsletter articles or news releases. We may also invite you to share your story at various events to benefit the hospital.   Someone from our staff will contact you for additional information if needed and to confirm how your story will be used.

Please share your story with us. Everyone shares their story in a different way. The following questions may help prompt your thinking as you decide how to tell your story.

• Why did and/or does your child come to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital?
• When did your child receive care at our hospital?
• What caregivers made a difference in your child's hospital experience?
• Is your child followed by a specialty doctor for a chronic condition? If so, who?
• Was there anyone else involved in your child's care that made a difference?
