Join the Albertson's Companies NASC Team's efforts to raise critical funding for Phoenix Children's Child Life Toy Program.
Play is an important part of the healing and coping process for pediatric patients. Phoenix Children's Toy Program is dedicated to making sure staff have access to the age and situational appropriate toys they need to support each child. Some of the ways Child Life use toys to deliver on Phoenix Children's mission include:
- Distracting children during painful treatment and procedures.
- Helping children cope during high anxiety situations
- Rewarding and motivating children to reach important health milestones
- Decreasing anxiety by showing kids what to expect during an upcoming medical procedure
- Facilitating physical rehabilitation via play
- Normalizing stays in the hospital with play as a respite, simply letting kids be kids!!
Children who are exposed to Child Life at Phoenix Children's experience less emotional stress, demonstrate more effective coping and show greater understanding of the hospital experience. Your support ensures Phoenix Children's is there for every child who needs us, in every way that matters!
