Child life specialists bring comfort and care to our youngest patients every day. This video from Kara's mom shows how much of a difference they make!
"Kara's favorite people at the hospitals are child life specialists. They are trained to make hospital things less scary for kids. Kara has had so many new experiences and it can be scary, but child life specialists have always made it so much easier by introducing pretend play before Kara does those things herself. Way to go, Kara!"
