C.S. Mott Children's Hospital

We were honored to host Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Governor Gretchen Whitmer at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in a panel discussion featuring several of our leaders, as well as participants from Corewell Health, Trinity Health, Henry Ford Health and the DMC. This roundtable, moderated by the Michigan Health & Hospital Association, discussed the importance of Medicaid and how it has served as a lifeline for patients and families.

Meet Deverik one of our Little Victors from our 2025 calendar. “Deverik was born in June 2017 and, at 4 months old, he came down with his first cold and was sent to cardiology after his pediatrician was concerned with his blood oxygen saturation levels. The echo showed that Deverik had a congenital heart defect called atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD). He successfully underwent open-heart surgery in June 2021, just two weeks shy of his fourth birthday. Surgery never slowed him down and he continues to do fantastic! We are so grateful to Dr. Sood and the entire team of professionals who have helped Deverik up until this point!” Hail, Deverik!

Meet Lila one of our Little Victors from our 2025 calendar. “At our 20-week ultrasound we found Lila was diagnosed with mosaic trisomy 16 leading to a very complex congenital heart defect: pulmonary atresia, right aortic arch, complete AVSD, intracardiac TAPVR, heterotaxy, dextro-Transposition of the great arteries, and bilateral SVC. Lila endured many open chest procedures. Lila was diagnosed with a Morgagni hernia and malrotated intestines, requiring surgical intervention. She underwent three more heart procedures and required to be on ECMO. Lila was then diagnosed with airway malacia and bronchus suis, conditions for which there were no medical interventions available. Our hearts ache as we remember Lila, who became our forever angel on November 5th, 2023. We want to thank EVERYONE at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital for all their hard work and dedication to the LITTLE VICTORS!” Hail, Lila. ?? ??

Meet Everly one of our Little Victors from our 2025 calendar. “Our sweet Everly has shown true strength and resilience since birth. Our family was unaware of her heart defect in utero, but Mom ended up having a STAT c-section and Everly spent 72 hours on a cooling blanket due to lack of oxygen because the cord was wrapped around her neck. Shortly after, her MRI showed good results, and we were cleared to go home. Just before going home, we found out that Everly had a heart defect called truncus arteriosus. She was transported to Mott at 9 days of life for an open-heart surgery and is now thriving!! Everly has never let any obstacle get in her way and she is crushing all of her milestones. She is the most beautiful baby and toughest heart warrior. She puts a smile on all of the faces around her. We love you Everly Mae!! Our care from everyone at Mott was second to none. Every nurse, doctor, technician, and staff member were so compassionate, helpful, and loving during the toughest month of our lives. We were able to rest more easily knowing that our sweet girl was in the best care possible and that the staff was willing to go above and beyond to provide her with exceptional care. We will forever be grateful for the quality care our sweet Everly received at Mott Children's Hospital.” Hail, Everly!
