Project ADAM Michigan is a program administered by University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital Congenital Heart Center to help prepare schools for sudden cardiac emergencies. The Project ADAM initiative provides schools with guidance and support on how to minimize the risk of sudden cardiac death in the school setting.
Mott’s Child and Family Life Program nurtures young patients’ social, emotional and educational needs during a hospital stay. Playrooms, computers, music and art ease fear and foster healing. Support for the Child and Family Life Program means support of childhood – imagination, exploration, delight – for children who are fighting for their lives.
Charles Woodson, former U-M football player, started this clinical research fund to support pediatric research. While U-M is one of the top funded academic medical institutions by the National Institute of Health (NIH) – less than 10% of all NIH funding is allocated to support pediatric research. Charles realized the groundbreaking work being done by U-M for pediatric research, and recognized the funding gap. This research fund is dedicated to funding work in its earliest stages of development when ideas have the greatest potential for impact and innovation.
The Family Hope Fund started by Detroit Tiger Brandon Inge and his wife, Shani, aids families who need help meeting the costs of food, lodging and transportation to and from the hospital during their child’s treatment. The Inge’s realized the financial strains that can occur for families with children in long-term care at Mott, and wanted to help make a difference.
