A new year’s greeting from C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital

As healthcare providers, each of us has the privilege of experiencing firsthand the strength and resilience of children.

You and I have seen how their laughter, their smiles and their spirit are an important part of the healing journey.

Our video message this year, featuring a poem written by a former Mott volunteer, was inspired by the courage we know lies within each of our patients.

We hope you enjoy it as much as the children and families it was designed for.

From all of us at University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, may the New Year truly be a concert of yes, full of discovery, innovation, healing and joy.

Best wishes for an incredible 2016.
