The Child Life Program addresses the social, emotional and developmental needs of children dealing with the stress of illness and hospitalization.
Role of Child Life Specialists
Child Life Specialists provide opportunities for children of all ages to master the healthcare experience by preparing and supporting them through medical procedures. Therapeutic play sessions take place in our playrooms and at thebedside.
 Playrooms
Playrooms are safe places for children to build coping skills, express creativity through play, and share emotions and concerns. The program also extends support and resources to families in times of bereavement.
In collaboration with local universities and colleges, the Child Life Program offers comprehensive internship and fieldwork opportunities. Volunteers also form a vital part of the program
