Turning Stressful Moments Into Play-Powered Moments

When children are hospitalized their days no longer consist of playing with friends, game nights with family, or after-school sports. Instead, they experience fear during painful procedures and face seemingly scary diagnoses in an unfamiliar setting.

Kids need play. They learn, express emotions, and heal through play. When play is at the heart of a child's medical treatment, they have an outlet for processing and expressing emotions to help them heal faster.
