U-Mโs Mott Childrenโs Hospital creates buttons of friendly faces for teams treating children

Mott Childrenโs Hospital can now safely see what their care team looks like. โBeing at the hospital can be a scary and nerve-racking experience for children,โ Luanne Thomas Ewald, chief operating officer at Mott and Von Voigtlander Womenโs Hospital said in a statement. โWe recognize that COVID precautions may make it difficult for some patients to recognize the people who are taking care of them. โCurrent restrictions are critical to keeping our hospital community safe but also limit some human interactions that show you care.
