Sharing a powerful voice for children and families on Capitol Hill
12-year-old E’Shon Guy, a patient at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to share his healthcare journey with lawmakers and discuss how health policy decisions affect kids like him.
E’Shon has a severe form of sickle cell anemia that led to frequent illness and repeated hospitalizations before lifechanging treatment at Mott.
He and his parents, Eric and Virona Guy, met with members of Michigan's congressional delegation and their staff as part of the Children’s Hospital Association’s Family Advocacy Day.
The family had the chance to speak with Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Congressman Tom Barrett as well as staff from the offices of Congressman John Moolenaar and Congressman Tim Walberg.
Thank you, E’Shon! 💙💛
