Even though he found himself in Spartan Country 😀💚🤍, our team was honored to host the legendary and Hall of Fame former head coach of the University of Michigan basketball team, John Beilein.
Coach Beilein shared a valuable presentation with our team called "Leading by Trust, Growth and Lifestyle." It was also a wonderful example of our health system, though stretched across the state with two teams on the field, have come together for the health of the state of Michigan. We are !
Thank you, Coach!

Several children from C.S. Mott Children's Hospital at UM Health-Sparrow recently took a “flight” to visit Santa Claus and his helpers at the North Pole.
These young patients are among dozens of children from local hospitals with life-threatening illnesses who had the opportunity to board a real airplane for the special trip. The children were instructed to keep their window shades down, because it’s so bright in the North Pole, and the plane moved to a parking area, where they enjoyed a day of fun activities in a winter wonderland.
This fantasy flight was hosted by the Silverliners, a group of retired flight attendants, in partnership with Delta Airlines. Dean Trailways provided free transportation to and from Detroit Metro Airport for UM Health-Sparrow children and their families.
This was a magical experience for all! Thank you to our team members who helped make it happen.

It's Christmas time on Michigan Avenue!
The holiday spirit came alive at UM Health-Sparrow Lansing as Santa, his elves and local first responders joined forces to bring holiday joy to patients, visitors and team members.
Police and fire agencies, thanks in large part to the non-profit group Santa's First Responders, created a festive atmosphere for all as they circled the hospital with their lights shining brightly.
Santa and his team also delivered gifts to young patients at the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital at UM Health-Sparrow, spreading smiles and holiday cheer.
Meanwhile, our UM Health-Sparrow team members were served delicious snacks and relaxing massages.
What a wonderful day during the most wonderful time of the year!

🎄💙 Several of our Public Safety officers were proud to recently take part in the annual Shop With a Cop event alongside other local law enforcement.
Each child was paired with an officer for a morning of holiday shopping and fun. We’re grateful for our officers who go above and beyond to serve our community, both inside and outside our hospital walls. 💙

This is Hank! 🐶
Hank is one of our therapy dogs at UM Health-Sparrow who has been bringing holiday cheer to our patients having to spend this special time in the hospital.
Hank is a good boy! This 13-year-old pup is a favorite around here and he and his owner, Richard, are one of our most faithful volunteers.
"He has a gift and he knows it," said Richard. "It's such an incredible feeling for both of us to brighten people's day."
Thank you to Hank, Richard and all the volunteers helping make the season bright!

Our team members are worth celebrating every day, but we did something special for them by serving a free pancake and sausage breakfast at UM Health-Sparrow Lansing.
There were lots of happy faces as they dug into their food and received messages of appreciation from volunteer servers.
We thank our team members for their commitment to our patients, visitors and our community.

Dozens of first responders joined Santa and his elves today to bring holiday cheer to patients, visitors and team members at UM Health-Sparrow Lansing.
The 4th Annual First Responders Holiday Parade featured a procession of emergency vehicles down Michigan Avenue. Spirits were high and there were smiles all around amidst the carolers, cocoa, treats and even massages for team members. To top it off, Santa Claus himself delivered gifts to pediatric patients.
We are grateful to serve such an outstanding community full of incredible people who give so much of their time and energy to improve the lives of those around them.
