Toys for Saint Elizabeth
|
|
Saint Elizabeth is delighted when toys are donated to help calm fears in our
smallest patients and family members.
Our ER and Short Stay areas (outpatient surgery) regularly provide donated toys
to calm the fears of young patients or |
youngsters whose mommy, daddy, brother, or sister was injured. We also make good
use of the toys for patients undergoing “routine procedures.”
Here’s just one cute tale from Tanya Hergott, of our Imaging/Radiology areas:
One child was having an MRI procedure, and he picked out his absolute favorite
animal, a horse. The little boy was actually giggling and even neighing loudly
all the way down the hallway. He brought many smiles to all of our faces, and
the look on his face was absolutely priceless.
