Default Mott's Children Hospital?

Is the Mott's Children's Hospital, in Ann Arbor Michigan (University of Michigan Health System) involved in the Beads of Courage program?

The only Michigan member hospitals at the moment are in Flint and Detroit.

I wish Mott were one of the hospitals too - I'm in Ann Arbor.

Does anyone know the criteria used to initiate this program at a hospital? I work for Beaumont Hospital Troy but don't know if they have an IP peds cancer program.

Hi Kat.

Colin can help with all of that.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
BOC also has a NICU program, Hematology, Cardiac, Long Term Illness, Transplant, (not sure if burns is up and running) etc. If there is any specialty kids work going on, BOC may be able to serve them. It especially helps if we have someone on the "inside" who can help with introductions at a new site.

When you talk with Colin, don't be surprised if she already has talked wtih someone or if they're already on the list to come on board! It's always a good contact to make though because it often prompts a follow up that she's been meaning to make.

There are so many factors that go into getting a site under contract and up and running. I'm amazed that we have over 100 hospitals now given all of the hoops of funding, implementation, etc. Eventually, someone gets it and they realize that BOC is one of the best things they can do for their population so don't give up hoping for a site near you!

BOC also serves clinics that provide services for kids getting treatment.

Might Colin be on a vacation? I still have no response to my email. I hate to pester people, especially if they are busy! I did send another, just to make sure that she even got the first one.

You know what...she IS on vacation. I forgot that she mentioned something last week about not taking her computer to the beach.

Then, when she gets back, she'll need to dig out from the pile of emails she's inevitably get.

Don't be afraid to contact her again in a week though if you haven't heard back. She won't mind.

Thanks Robin, Sent you a PM. Colin did respond to let me know she is a bit tied up, so if you can get me some info to get the ball rolling that would be great! Thank you!

The people at BOC are great -- they are happy to offer advice, answer questions, and offer fundraising ideas. They are really informative and helpful, and you can tell they LOVE their jobs!
