The support they give you as parents is unprecedented, being able to stay there overnight and have them support you as well during the difficult time is more than anyone could ask for. Luckily for us it was only around a month and a few surgeries later we were home and happy. Fast forward almost 3 years later and although we still have regular follow ups multiple times per year were very thankful for the work they do.
I knew the ACH was great, but it wasn't until I had to personally see and visit the NICU that I knew the place was special. World class care for some unfortunately very sick children, it's a tough place to be as a parent... I can't imagine having to do it for a living.
I'll always be thankful for the help and support they've shown my family over the years, which is why I only take donations to the ACH any time I give tickets away here on CP.
I wish I could give more, but I give what I can when I can.

My kids spent about 10 days in the NICU at Foothills when they were born. They were preemies but other than that no real concerns so it was basically to monitor them until they were good to go home. Hands down that unit was absolutely the best. They are also on our charitable donation list every year and have been for 20 years now.
