Our CMNH Stories

One of the many things that brings our chapter together is our love for our national philanthropy, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Several members of our chapter have, at some point in their lives, received treatment from some of the 170 member hospitals that make up CMNH. One of our incredible sisters, Cheyenne, has volunteered to share her CMNH story. Stay tuned for more stories to be shared by our brave sisters.

When I was 11, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, a condition in which your spine is curved. After months of wearing a back brace, the doctors decided my condition was too far progressed and that surgery was the only option. In 2012, I went to the Children’s Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha, NE for my surgery and stayed there for a week. The hospital was very supportive throughout my recovery, and had therapy dogs visit me, along with cards and words of encouragement from nurses and volunteers. I even looked back and saw that there were cards from Phi Mu Zeta Gamma! CMNH gave me the opportunity to live a long, healthy life after my surgery, and continued to support me through the entire process. Being able to give back through our philanthropy is something that I never could have imagined, but something that I am so grateful for. Getting to know other women who have this same passion that I do only makes me want to strive to work harder for CMNH, so that those kids have the same experience that I did, knowing that there are people rooting for them!
