In addition, assistance is provided to other health care professionals in the development and provision of patient and family education. An Information Kiosk located on the first floor of the hospital provides patients and families visiting our outpatient clinics with access to hospital information and patient education materials regarding general parenting, health and wellness. This is also the site of our StoryTime performances. StoryTime is an expressive arts program offered two times a week to provide emotional support, nurturing and inspiration to patients and their families. The program highlights the Resource Center's recreational collection through storytelling, music, theater, dance and art.
Stories change weekly.
These programs combine eager young readers and listeners with talented volunteers who read, tell stories and provide play activities. Closed Circuit TV broadcasts television programming chosen especially for the educational and entertainment needs of pediatric patients and families. A weekly TV Guide is distributed to the units each Friday and lists the specific programs that broadcast each week. The goal is to encourage parents to incorporate the enjoyment of books into the lives of their children at an early age. Everyone is welcome to use the Resource Center.
