We envision a socially-just community with happy, healthy, prosperous people. This room is specifically designed to meet the needs of teen and young adult patients. The teen room is outfitted with music, movies, video game systems, computers and a variety of interesting arts and crafts.

With the guidance of Child Life staff, volunteers oversee and coordinate teen room activities. The Children's Hospital Gift Shop is staffed by adult volunteers and is a great place to have contact with patients and their families, visitors and hospital staff. The Rock a Baby Program is a hospital-wide program for our infants. A pool of volunteers staffs this program and volunteers assist on an as-needed basis. Adults are also needed to cuddle infants in the NICU. Human touch has been proven to have a positive effect of the healing process of infants.

Another way you can volunteer to help patients and families is by joining our pool of volunteers. These volunteers help by escorting patients and families throughout the hospital, delivering superhero balloons to newly admitted patients, and providing snacks and coffee to parents and siblings in the surgery waiting area.

Volunteers with this assignment may also be asked to deliver mail or a gift to a child's room. These respite volunteers are here to lend a hand when families that have children hospitalized because of cancer, need any kind of basic help while in the hospital. For more information contact, Mary Kantlehner at www. Pets and their handlers are screened, trained and approved by the Board of Directors of the Visiting Pet Program. Visiting Pet Program Teams visit hospitalized patients and their families in their room, playroom areas, attend special events held for the patients and can be called upon to greet families and help them find their way in the hospital.
