Meet our 2025 Children’s Health℠ Patient Ambassadors! This league of superhero patients are advocates for Children’s Health through sharing their stories of resilience and hope at events and campaigns. They educate others about their journeys, and they also have the opportunity to fundraise for an area of Children’s Health that is meaningful to them. Together, they help make life better for kids just like them. 

If you are a grateful patient family interested in becoming a part of next year's patient ambassador class, please share your story and our team will get back with you as soon as possible.
