Heidi and Chris from the CATCH program joined a Trunk or Treat event at Adams Elementary School earlier this week!

Decorated like a mini farmers market, they shared stuffed fruit and veggie keychains, cards with healthy treat recipes and these useful tips for Halloween trick-or-treaters. 🎃 👇

👻 Don't forget about all the spooky fun beyond treats! Creative costumes, pumpkin carving, Halloween dance parties and more.
🍬 When you come home from trick-or-treating, don't eat it all at once! Set a limit of an appropriate amount per day.
😋 Parents and caregivers - remember to be a good role model and practice mindful eating, too.

Have a safe and fun Halloween!

"I will be forever grateful for the care and support they provided during one of the most challenging and traumatic time of my life."

2 years ago, Brenna Wedeven of Holland was diagnosed with a life-threatening infection: necrotizing fasiitis.

She arrived in the emergency room at Zeeland Hospital before being transferred to Butterworth in Grand Rapids for multiple surgeries and recovery in the critical care unit.

"Without the team I had I wouldn’t be here today and I couldn’t thank them enough for saving my life. From the emergency surgeons to the nurses to infectious disease."

Watch the story here by FOX 17:

A Holland resident is speaking out after surviving necrotizing fasciitis, a rare but often fatal bacterial infection she contracted following a routine ovarian surgery in 2023.

Dr. Peirce’s favorite reminder for parents and caregivers: "Progress matters more than perfection." 💙

As a Corewell Health pediatrician serving patients in Hudsonville, Dr. Peirce wants parents to feel confident, supported and informed every step of the way.

“Being a part of each child's journey, seeing their resilience, and helping them flourish is incredibly rewarding," said Dr. Peirce.

Children grow quickly, and pediatricians are trained to keep up. From developmental milestones to complex conditions, they understand how to best support families with evidence-based care.

Meet Dr. Betsy Beckman, pediatrician with Corewell Health Pediatrics - Lakewood in Holland. 🩺

For Dr. Beckman, it's all about helping her patients grow up healthy and walking alongside families to achieve their goals.

"Pediatricians focus on the unique needs of growing kids - like special nutrition needs and tracking developmental milestones," said Dr. Beckman. "We also have specific training in child-friendly approaches to care."

For parents and caregivers, a pediatrician is one of the best tools for answering questions about your child's health.

"Pediatricians are solely focused on the health of children. It's our job to stay up-to-date on new guidelines and research."

Joint replacement can seem intimidating - but skilled surgeons and advancing technology are transforming the experience.

Corewell Health orthopedic surgeons offer Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery on the lakeshore. For knee and hip replacements, studies have shown this can lead to faster recovery and less pain.

"The robotic arm allows me to have even greater precision and control during the procedure," said Dr. Jacob Lytle, orthopedic surgeon. "I'm able to make smaller incisions and make sure the implant is in the optimal place for long-term mobility."
