Play with a Purpose
Activity coordinators plan a diverse set of educational activities through our integrated curriculum with the help of an army of volunteers every day, and they also organize special events. A few things you might see happening in the Family Life Center or patient waiting rooms include:
- Art projects
- Games
- Special visits from sports and celebrity guests like Scottie Pippen!
- Volunteer and donor playtime
Keeping our patients playing is essential to their treatment; playtime and activities provide a much needed distraction and continued stimulation so that children continue to grow and develop. Playtime also helps normalize the healthcare experience, making the kids feel like kids again. We also realize that illness affects the whole family, so we make sure our sibling programs take care of their individual needs as well.
