Avera Children's Champion
The Avera Children's Champion award recognizes how young patients not only cope with their illness or injury, but how they overcome obstacles with patience, courage, strength and even joy.
Our Current Avera Children's Champions
Avera Children's is proud to award Joshua the next Children's Champion. Joshua is a 4 year old little boy who came to Avera Children's by Careflight. Before coming to Avera Children's he spent a week in the hospital in Aberdeen. Joshua was very ill and had to go through two major surgeries, numerous pokes and tests while spending a month with us. Joshua always had a smile on his face and would laugh while he was painting his flower pots or making sand art projects with Child Life. He was such a brave little boy who never gave up or never complained. He loved being the nurse's little helper when it was time for his medication. Joshua is truly a champion and Avera Children's staff is honored to have taken care of Joshua during his hospital stay at Avera Children's Hospital. Way to go Joshua!!!
