Rhys VanDemark

 Patient Daniel McDiamid, 16 months right, reaches out to feel Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Child Life Specialist Rhys VanDemark's goatee during a picnic for past and current patients at Douglas Walker Park in Byron Center.  McDiarmid was diagnosed with a one of a kind variety of SCID (servere combined immuno deficiency).

Winn said about being treated for cancer at the children's hospital, "I think one of the things that's great about the children's hospital is their consideration of the fact you still have a life to live after treatment."
