Corewell Health Zeeland Hospital

Virtual mental health clinics at Zeeland East and Zeeland West High Schools provide students with teletherapy appointments inside their schools. Philanthropy supported financial assistance for students who do not have access to their parent’s insurance or are under insured, enabling them to receive the same support as their peers. In 2025, a second clinic was added to support growing utilization at both schools, underscoring the critical need for these services in our region. 

Nurses and clinical staff are the heart of our hospital. Philanthropy helps us care for team members just as they have cared for others, through career-enhancing scholarships and emotional and physical wellness support to ensure they’re equipped, encouraged, and ready to lead into the future. In 2025, your support of these team members led to exceptional patient experiences, as told by these patients in their own words: 

Roxanne, Registered Nurse 

“Her consistent support and expertise made a huge difference, especially in helping me navigate breastfeeding my newborn. We are truly impressed by her dedication, professionalism, and genuine passion. She encouraged me not to give up on breastfeeding and guided me through each step with such patience.” 

Nickolas, Patient Services Associate 

“It wasn’t his job to listen to me, but he took time out of his day to show support to someone who was hurting, and even though I was still crying… I was so grateful to him. I told my mother how awesome he was, and as she was wheeling me out of the ER, he tapped on the glass and told me to keep going. I cried the whole way home and told my mother about how much he changed my life that day.” 

Svetlana, Med Surg Nurse Tech 

“She was so professional and loving to my mother, who has dementia, while she was bathing her. She explained to mom what she was going to do before she did… very gentle… and she explained things to me when she saw I was crying. This is the kind of care we want for our loved ones, what a blessing she is.”
