This cherished tradition started in 2017 by Corewell Health Children’s in Southeast Michigan (then Beaumont Children’s) nurses and child life specialists as a way of helping our youngest and bravest patients feel connected to their community during the holiday season.
Each December, community members from across Southeast Michigan visit the Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital campus in Royal Oak at approximately 8 p.m. to shine flashlights to remind pediatric patients they aren’t alone and wish them sweet dreams.
