This FRIDAY, we are having one of our amazing Therapeutic Play & Learn Groups. This playgroup will be at Creekside Park. We hope to see you there!

📍 Creekside Park, 1035 68th St SE, Caledonia, MI 49316

Enjoy a free playgroup where children of all abilities can come and play together. Our playgroups offer a space where caregivers can meet one-on-one with our licensed therapists and meet other caregivers within Kent County.

This program is made possible because of the generosity of Kent County taxpayers and the voter-approved Ready by Five Early Childhood Millage.

Do you have a medically complex child who does a majority of their care at ? 👩‍⚕️ 🏥

✨Inquire about the Secchia CarePartners Program! ✨

“As part of the Secchia CarePartners program you will have a nurse care coordinator assigned to your family who will be dedicated to you and your care team. This person will be an advocate, who can help with logistics, scheduling, support and information, so you can focus more on your child and family. In partnering with you, we provide:

1) An initial needs assessment with the nurse care coordinator, where we will discuss and identify your family’s needs, priorities and gaps together, then help develop a plan to assist you

2) Guidance and support to understand medical information and treatment plans
Communication and support between you and members of your child’s health care team
Referrals to support services including social work, pastoral care, financial counseling and community resources

3) Coordination of referrals, medical appointments, procedures and tests, streamlining as much as possible to make the best use of your time and eliminate unnecessary travel

4) Attendance at medical appointments at your request and when schedules allow”

There typically is a waitlist, so call and get on the list ASAP! Even if you are on the waitlist, you can use their lounge space! Available Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 4:30 pm and by appointment after hours, the lounge serves as a place to rest between appointments or testing.
