Tour Guides for Holland

Tour Guides for Holland's central principle is parents helping parents. We use a mentoring and coaching model to help you learn how to research your child's specific diagnoses, learn what questions to ask their doctors, and help you locate online and community resources for you and your child(ren). We will help you learn your rights and responsibilities in the hospital, the layout of the hospital so you can locate resources, and provide you with a list of hospital-provided services (ie. Ronald McDonald room, hospital library, chapel, etc). Furthermore, we offer basic assistance for the duration of your NICU stay- picking up and dropping off things you've forgotten at home, organizing meal trains and delivering meals, bringing snacks (especially non-diet soda!) or simply sitting with your child so you can get 5 minutes of fresh air.  

Although our primary experience is with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), we are not a diagnosis specific organization. We support the parents of children with all diagnoses and prognoses.
