Special Parents Confidential Episode 58 Children’s Healing Center

Children’s Healing Center Every so often you run across an idea that is so perfect, you find yourself wondering why it hadn’t been done before. Such is the case with The Children’s Healing Center, a new play facility in Grand Rapids, MI. All Kids Want To Play We all know the importance that play time and activities has for social development. We can talk about statistics and studies on the subject, but as parents we just know kids like to play with each other. But when a child has a disease or a disorder that compromises their immune systems, social activities usually wind up being left out. Safe Play Areas For Kids With Immune Deficiencies Now a new concept has come about here in Grand Rapids, Michigan where I live that is making a major difference. The Children’s Healing Center is a special play and social activity center that is completely germ free. It allows kids with cancers, blood diseases, or any other disorders that cause immune deficiencies to still get out and have a chance to play and socialize with other kids who have similar problems. They offer fun programs and activities in technology, art and learning, fitness, and exploratory play in a seven thousand square foot facility that is as germ free as possible.  Joining me on this episode of Special Parents Confidential is Amanda Winn, who is the Founder and the Executive Chair of the Children’s Healing Center. We talk about her background and her very personal reason for starting the Children’s Healing Center, as well as what the center offers for kids and families.
