Help Keep Young Patients Smiling
Supporting Young Patients with Toys & Books
Established in partnership with Stilhavn Real Estate Services in December of 2023, the KGH Toyhavn is a a centralized program within the hospital to house children’s toys, books, crafts, and more, allowing hospital staff access to these important tools in support of young patients.
“Toys, crafts, books and the like play a crucial role in the well-being of children undergoing treatment in the hospital,” says Jill Sinton, Director of Clinical Operations, KGH Emergency Department, Access & Efficiency. “Toys and games can provide a welcome distraction from potential stress and anxiety associated with medical tests and procedures and help to make an unfamiliar environment (the hospital) a little more friendly and welcoming – and a little less clinical and intimidating.”
Your gift today can make a hospital stay a little bit brighter for some of KGH's youngest patients.
