Children’s Healing Center

The Children’s Healing Center is a year-round recreation facility providing social and emotional healing for kids with weakened immune systems and their families in a safe, clean environment. The Center is an oasis for members to step away from the stress of a complex medical diagnosis to experience the healing power of Good. Clean. Fun.® With a focus on socialization, play-therapy, recreation and education, kids, young adults and families have a safe space to express themselves, interact with others and feel a sense of belonging. Families who use the Center have at least one qualifying child who is immune compromised, which often limits them from visiting public places for fear of getting sick. There are two locations- one in Grand Rapids and one in Ypsilanti.
