Our patients were the guests of honor at a recent West Michigan Whitecaps game. Dr. Fitzgerald, President of Corewell Health Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, led the charge onto the field and made sure the children and families had a memorable experience.

I had the honor of catching the first pitches thrown by some of our Corewell Health Helen DeVos Children's Hospital patients during Kids Can Conquer Night with the West Michigan Whitecaps. The kids also had the opportunity to autograph baseball cards, help on the field, meet the team and more. It was a beautiful night where kids who’ve been through so much could just enjoy themselves and be kids again.
