    CHERUBS "Adopt A Hospital" Program


    Would you like to help families affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia? Would you like to do something in honor or in memory of a cherub? CHERUBS has created a new program that will soon be helping CDH families across the country.

    There are 2 options to our Adopt A Hospital program:

    Adoption Plan #1 - You order / print out the list of items below and take them to the hospital. You also become a CHERUBS Hospital Ambassdor for new CDH families at that hospital and you periodically refurnish the materials.

    Adoption Plan #2 - You make a $100 donation to CHERUBS and we order and put together the materials and send them to the hospital in honor / memory of your cherub.

    CHERUBS Adopt A Hospital Care Package Includes:

    1 copy of "Stories of Cherubs" Volume I - http://www.cafepress.com/cherubs.329393956
    1 copy of "Stories of Cherubs" Volume II - http://www.cafepress.com/cherubs.329390564
    1 CDH awareness poster - http://www.cafepress.com/cherubs/6448761
    20 Parent Reference Guides - http://cdhsupport.org/members/dload....ile&file_id=32
    50 CHERUBS CDH Info Brochures - http://cdhsupport.org/members/dload....ile&file_id=83
    50 CDH Awareness Ribbon Pins - http://cdhsupport.blogspot.com/2009/...ic-hernia.html
    10 copies of our latest newsletter - http://cdhsupport.org/newsletter/

    Each item (except the CDH ribbon pins) is labeled with a sticker that says "Donated in honor of ________" or "Donated in memory of _________"

    These items are then available to all CDH parents admitted into these hospitals. Upon joining CHERUBS, new parents will soon receive more information and support through our Gabe's Gifts program.

    These items are an invaluable source of support and information for families affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Because there are so many hospitals, CHERUBS cannot possibly afford to donate to all hospitals and we are inviting our members and the general public to help us to help CDH families.

    If you would like to Adopt A Hospital, please contact us at volunteer@cherubs-cdh.org

    Do you have suggestions for where they put this information?

    U of Michigan had said they don't suggest support groups or hand out materials because parents generally already know about support that is available. I think that they don't want to step on any toes because they passed out BoH bracelets and ribbons on March 31st last year.

    Lots of parents don't know prenatally and I don't want parents to have to wait until they are in the hospital to find support. Though better late than never.

    Amy, it's horrible that they would promote one group like that and not others.

    Do you have a nurse there that you still talk to? I would start there. What if you and Barb and a few more of the other MI members planned a day to go there together to meet with the nurses, doctors, etc? Take photos, invite a reporter.... they can't say no to that.

    You're very, very right that not everyone has support prenatally. Some aren't on-line, some aren't diagnosed until birth. Parents need all the support that they can get.

    For where they put it... the books can go in their NICU/PICU library, the brochures can go in a brochure stand in the waiting room or in the nurses station. Same with the other printed materials. The poster - anywhere you can post it so parents can access it and learn about CDH.

    CDH "Adopt A Hospital" program is up and running! Which hospital would you like to adopt in honor / memory of your cherub? Our goal is to adopt every hospital with ECMO and every CDH center around the world so that every CDH parent has the information and support they need to make the best decisions possible for their cherub.

    http://www.cdhsupport.org/donate/hospitaladopt.php

    Donate here to adopt a hospital, see what's included, see what hospitals are adopted. I'm ordering items this week and putting together hospital packets on June 1st!
