Children's Healing Center

At the Children’s Healing Center, our why is rooted in belonging — and that means making sure there’s something here for everyone. 💛

From little ones building confidence in play time or Little Tots University, to teens finding connection through Teen & Young Adult Nights, to entire families coming together during Family Drop-In — our programs are designed with every age and stage in mind.

We offer opportunities for creativity, education, fitness, and social connection — all in a medically safe, emotionally supportive environment.

⭐Behind every visit, there’s a powerful “why.”

The Center is a “yes” zone – where kids can just be kids without the fear of getting sick. With a blend of fun programs, there is something for everyone.

For families facing serious illness, hospital stays and medical procedures can fill childhood with fear and uncertainty. At the Children’s Healing Center, we create moments that push back against that pain — moments filled with laughter, connection, and joy.

Every craft, every game, every shared smile becomes a memory that shines brighter than the hard days. Because all kids deserve to look back and remember more than just the struggle — they deserve to remember a joyful childhood. 💙

Our why is to reach every medically vulnerable Michigan child and family who needs a place to belong.

That’s why we’re so grateful to have a second Center in Southeast Michigan, bringing our safe, joyful, and healing space closer to even more families.

Together, we’re growing our community where every child can thrive, and every family can find hope. 💛

Healing doesn’t always look like medicine. Sometimes, it’s a game of tag, a craft project, or making a new friend.

We are honored to offer a space where kids can just be kids—and families can be together.
