The Child Life Program provides young patients and their families comprehensive support during hospitalization every day of the year. Specially trained staff provide a range of services, including access to activity rooms, emotional and mental support, school reintegration programs, coping strategies, and education on medical procedures and diagnoses.
Every October, Spirit of Children hosts a Fall Festival at the Children’s Hospital to give patients a fun break from their hospital rooms, complete with costumes, games, and crafts.
Spirit of Children has supported Children’s Hospital since 2013, raising more than $1.2 million for the program over the years.
