Feedback from families has played a key role in the design phase of a new $200-million medical tower at Akron Children’s downtown campus. During the process, parents were able to interact with full-scale floor models of the new patient care areas and were joined by their children for a focus group. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y9fPmtltqk
Patient Stories
Jordan brings the summer of fun
I’m not sure anyone could have prepared Randy and I for the fun we’ve been experiencing with Jordan this summer. We LOVE watching him grow, explore and develop his own little personality.
The Pollock Olympics
It’s a reality that Jordan isn’t going to be like other kids with a nervous system that allows their legs to move easier than his legs. He will be putting those super boots on, which will allow him to dream of whatever he wants to go after despite the need for a little assistance. When I really think about it, we all depend on something to get us to where we want to go whether it’s braces, wheelchair, bus, or car.
Jordan makes it through the Wipe Out
ordan has become more confident in his new skills, pulling himself up on his knees to check out what’s on the coffee table or attempting to position himself on our laps. He also enjoys finding our dog Sasha’s bone to give to her.
How to pack healthy school lunches your child will eat
Although breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, lunch is also an essential time for kids to refuel, stay focused and get the energy they need for the rest of the school day.
The Force is with us
We met our inspirational, courageous, heroic, soldier in February through Akron Children’s. We were so excited to watch and listen to the radiothon this year. Randy and I would leave either the radio or computer on for the duration of the event. We were inspired by each story that came across the airwaves.
