Question:

What sorts of activities are available for children while they are hospitalized?

Answer:

A wide variety of therapeutic recreational activities will be available for your child while he or she is hospitalized. Our large activity rooms are the site for many fun activities that can also include parents and siblings, while encouraging social interaction among patients. Some of our activities include:
  • adapted sports
  • medical play sessions in which the child is educated about a procedure using toys
  • arts and crafts
  • cooking
  • video and computer games
  • pet therapy visits
  • Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts
  • special guests and other entertainment from community groups
  • preschool activities for patients ages 2 ½ or younger
DVD and video movies are also available for children to watch in their room after Recreational Therapy has been closed for the day.
