During BIG 98.1's Annual Loves Our Kids Radiothon, Coop talks to patients and families, CHOP staff, and an array of cohosts, while sharing with you, our listening audience, about the miracles that happen every day in our own backyard.
• When a child can’t leave his or her room during an extended hospital stay, it’s a Child Life Specialist who plays games with them.
• When a child is nervous about an upcoming procedure, it’s a Child Life Specialist who comforts them by showing them on a doll exactly what’s going to happen.
• When a child spends his or her birthday at CHOP, it’s a Child Life Specialist who organizes the party.
• When a child spends the holidays in the hospital, it’s Child Life who provides toys and gifts and holiday cheer.
• Child Life Services provide therapy dogs, and music and arts therapy, canoe racing in the pool, for some kids it is where they learn to ride bikes – yes, up and down the hallways of the hospital.
In short, Child Life Specialists are the people who comfort kids at CHOP when they need comforting the most. They are the patients’ best friends and the parents’ greatest gift. Their department would not be possible without the money raised during Radiothon.
Help us make a difference. Listen on December 11th and 12th and find out how you can help!
