In our ongoing commitment to supporting BCH through various fundraising endeavors, a particularly heartwarming aspect for us involves providing tangible support to patients and their families. Our current focus centers on collecting items to enhance the inpatient experience, recognizing the dynamic mix of bustling days filled with medical procedures and more laid-back recovery periods. Collaborating with the dedicated Child Life Specialist department, our aim is to introduce joy into hospital stays through the provision of engaging toys. Fueled by the generosity reflected in the wish list, we are eager to give back by bringing comfort and delight to those navigating the hospital journey. Join us in fostering a positive impact on the hospital experience, turning challenging days into moments of resilience and joy.
Just like in years past this is super easy! You visit the wish list on amazon and check out just like you would do with your own shopping. Choose the Wish List address for delivery. The delivery will come to us and we will make a big delivery to BCH in January.
The mission of the Child Life Services Department is to assist and support patients and families in their adjustment to the hospital experience. Emotional and developmental interventions are provided to ensure that the appropriate care and services are provided. This mission is accomplished through collaborative interdisciplinary practice and education.
At Boston Children’s Hospital, child life specialists are part of the healthcare team. Members of the child life department work closely with the multidisciplinary team to provide developmental perspectives and support the varied needs of patients and families.
Child life specialists work to enhance patients’ emotional, social, and cognitive growth during a hospital visit, taking into consideration each child’s family, culture, and developmental needs. They use developmental interventions and play to help patients and families adjust to and understand their health care experiences.
