CATCH :: Your Donations at Work

A collaborative effort with Children's Hospital of Michigan and Henry Ford Hospital, these programs allow physicians, nurses and social workers to bring much needed medical supplies, services and equipment to at-risk children and their families who have difficulty accessing the very few privately practicing pediatricians in Detroit. The preventive services - including immunizations, lead and asthma screening, physicals and health education -- are brought to a variety of schools and other sites in the city by medical staff in CATCH vans.

Since 1987, CATCH dollars from special events and donations have facilitated a steady stream of items and services that help improve the quality of life for thousands of needy children. These special humanitarian items and services, which would otherwise not be funded, include wheelchair ramps, adaptive tricycles, wheelchair lifts, tutors and computers for children who have had prolonged hospitalizations, interpreters and home-based therapy equipment.
