❤️ Micah's journey: A story of courage and hope ❤️
Meet Micah, who has faced hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with an unbreakable spirit. He received expert care at Children's Health which included a successful heart transplant last fall. Now, he's turned his focus to ...helping others. Together with his mom who also had a heart transplant, they founded @transplanttz, an online support community for teens undergoing or recovering from transplants, and their loved ones.

Meet Ali, a former patient who had four open-heart surgeries as a child. Inspired by the care she received, she decided to give back as an adult, helping comfort others facing similar challenges.
Ali helps in many ways, ...cleaning wagons, passing out welcome gifts, coloring books and crayons, and blankets. She likes helping patients feel safe and comfortable while escorting them and their family to our clinics.
Ali shared, "Over 20 years, I have had a chance to meet many people. I have learned a lot from my work, and I hope that I have taught others that you can make a big difference in small and simple ways. I am proud of the work that I do at Children’s Health.”
