Updates for the group are as follows:
April 23rd
Presbyterian Children's Healthcare Fair
Join us at 12:30 (start time) at Presbyterian Medical Center for a presentation
as described below. This will last about an hour, and each child needs to
bring a doll or teddy bear. Sign up is mandatory by the 21st.
Please email me the number of children in your family participating, this
is age appropriate for K through 5th/6th.
April 21-25 Presbyterian's Children in Healthcare Fair
The lobby area is set up to accommodate groups as children rotate through
booths that are mock hospital scenarios: emergency room, heart station, x-ray
station, respiratory etc.
Each child will be requested to bring a stuffed animal, teddy bear or doll to the Fair. Each child will participate in administering medical care to the stuffed animal or doll; as we have provided the individual child with props to assume a medical identity. Props include a bouffant cap, shoe covers and face mask. This way, the children get a "hands on" experience of the procedure(s) for admittance and treatment considerations when being hospitalized.
Each group is greeted by the Director of the Child Life Program or a health care provider who gives each child a 'goodie bag' with props, stickers etc.
First we discuss the concept of the Child Life Program, then we talk about how the program assists a child and family members throughout the course of a hospital expe rience.
We then talk about how the tour is set up before instructing the children to take their caps, shoe covers and masks out of their goodie bags and put them on. Once this is done each child is a medical professional (doctor, nurse etc) of their choice.
The tour begins with admitting and a visit to the 'ER', thereafter children
proceed through a number of different interactive 'stations'.
