We’re committed to a holistic approach that addresses not only the medical needs of the child but also the emotional and social needs of the entire family.

Working Together to Build a Stronger Community

Better2gether is proud to partner with the Children’s Hospital of Richmond Complex Care Clinic. Join us in our mission to provide comprehensive, compassionate care and build a stronger community.

A Lasting Partnership

Together, the CHoR Complex Care Clinic and Better2gether are building a brighter, healthier future for children with complex medical illnesses and their families. Better2gether provides snacks, water/milk, and engagement tools like iPads and fidget toys to reduce stress and tension for the whole family. Through our partnership with Read to Them, we also supply books for children to take home, breaking down barriers for families who might not have access to books.

Furthering Our Impact

At the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) Complex Care Clinic (CCC), we are fortunate to have dedicated Better2gether volunteers like Serenity, who play a crucial role in supporting our families. Serenity, a volunteer with an impressive academic background and a passion for helping others has been instrumental in creating a warm and empathetic environment for the CCC patients and their families.
