2022 PATIENT AMBASSADORS
TOGETHER, THEY HELP MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR
KIDS JUST LIKE THEM.
Last year, we launched our inaugural class of Patient Ambassadors. These 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 can fundraise for an area of Children’s Health that is meaningful to them.
Together, they help make life better for kids just like them. Scroll down to learn more about our first class of ambassadors and how their stories inspired donors in 2022. And click here to learn more about our 2023 class.
