Lunch with the team at Grandville Pediatrics was a great opportunity to connect and talk about the important work being done to support children and their families. The care and dedication their team shows every day is evident.

Conversations around mental health can sometimes be difficult for families, but when trusted and compassionate primary care providers are committed to finding the best supports in every capacity, it makes a meaningful difference. We're honored that Forest View Hospital can be one of those supports, whether it's partnering with providers, helping children or supporting families and meeting them where they are. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Grandville Pediatrics and working together to address the mental health needs facing children in our community. 🤝 💚

Daylight Saving Time is almost here! ⏰

This Sunday, we "spring forward" and set our clocks ahead one hour for Daylight Saving Time. While the extra evening sunlight is nice, losing an hour of sleep can throw off our routines and even impact our mental health. Here are a few tips to help make the transition easier.

Most importantly, give yourself grace if you feel a bit off while your body adjusts. Small steps can make a big difference. Take care of yourself as you head into the weekend! 🌞

✨ Staff Spotlight! ✨

Meet Elizabeth, our Step-Down Navigator!

Elizabeth shares that her "why" is simple: she believes the best way to help someone is to truly listen and understand what they need. That's what drew her to this role - being part of the process of helping patients figure out what they want from their care and supporting them every step of the way. She feels especially fortunate to work with patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, helping create a smoother transition between levels of care.

When asked what she enjoys most about working for our outpatient center, Branches Grand Rapids, she responded with the strong sense of community. "Everyone here is dedicated to their job and dedicated to helping each patient through their difficult time. It's a blessing to see patient growth and work in a supportive environment."

Thank you, Elizabeth, for the compassion and care you bring to our patients each and every day! 💚

Last month we celebrated , and now in March, we're recognizing ! Two specialties that bring creativity, connection and healing into the work we do every day. 🎵 Recreational and music therapy play such an important role in helping patients express themselves, build confidence and find moments of joy throughout their recovery journey. We're so thankful for the energy, compassion and dedication these team members bring to our programs.

To celebrate both observances, our team spent time together last Friday for a fun bonding experience at the Grand Rapids Griffins hockey game! A great chance to connect, recharge and enjoy some well-deserved time together. ❤️

Here's to our recreation and music therapists who make a difference in ways big and small every single day. Thank you for all that you do!
