Promoting safety, health, and happiness for your child

At Corewell Health Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, caring for kids means more than simply providing health care. It means families, doctors, and hospital staff working together to create safe and joyful environments where kids can heal, grow, and thrive.

From child life specialists who bring light and smiles to hospital bedsides to car seat safety inspections to educational classes for new parents, we offer a range of programs that support kids and families through their health challenges.
