Our Integrative Care/Child Life program works with patients and families to help children feel more comfortable and in control of their hospital stay. Child life specialists, along with recreation, music, and art therapists, help patients and families successfully navigate the hospital experience by providing education, therapeutic and developmental play, creative therapies, and so much more.
Donations of toys, books, and craft supplies can help us provide these critical services and keep our patients smiling and engaged. Browse our child life team's wish list below, or shop our Amazon Gift List.
