In-Person Hospital Parties
PEDIATRIC FOCUSED PROGRAMS
IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING
We provide (4) in-person "parties" a year to each one of our hospital partners.
Every party includes monthly themes (Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Spring, Superhero, etc.)
We also distribute age-appropriate activity boxes with supplies needed to make holiday-themed crafts, personal visits with a costumed character, toys, catered meals and themed gift bags.
VIRTUAL GAMING PROGRAM
Our Virtual Gaming Program allows pediatric patients to interact with each other throughout the hospital using the twitchTV gaming platform and Nintendo Switch system.
Patients can chat, compete and interact with the twitchTV moderator, hospital staff and other patients throughout the hospital while gaming.
HERO PACKS
Our 'Hero Packs' are designed and focused specifically for Clinics and Outpatient facilities.
These grab-and-go activity bags make it easy for pediatric patients to do while getting treatment or waiting on doctors/therapy appointments.
NOTE:
Activity packs and all pediatric programs are created with the guidance of Child Life Specialists and hospital specific policies and regulations.
All programs are age-appropriate and safe for patient care settings.
Our Presence
