If your child is struggling with a neurological condition, so many things can seem impossible. Finding the right treatment. Living without pain. Hitting developmental milestones.
At Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, we specialize in the impossible. We eliminate children's seizures. Perform life-changing surgery. Manage complex movement disorders. At our robust neurosciences program — ranked one of the best in the nation by U.S. News and World Report — our mission is to help you and your child overcome the challenges that seem impossible.
Impossible happens here
Claire, from impossible to moving freely.
Born at 24 weeks, Claire had a 1% chance of surviving, let alone walking. For the past four years, she’s received treatments at the Cerebral Palsy Clinic that have allowed her to master walking and running —defying the odds stacked against her since birth.
Jesse, from impossible to finding his strength.
Jesse was diagnosed with general dystonia, a condition that has affected his muscles since infancy. Recently, Jesse underwent deep brain stimulation surgery that impacted his spasticity, allowing him to grow stronger every day.
Lily, from impossible to two years seizure-free.
Lily was diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy at age 4 and, in 2019, underwent surgery to remove a portion of her brain causing the seizures. Since then, Lily has lived seizure-free.
