Research shows that children who are prepared for medical procedures and engage in therapeutic play experience less fear and anxiety and have better long-term adjustment to medical challenges. By supporting the Therapeutic Recreation & Child Life program, you are ensuring that kids treated at our Shriners Hospital benefit from best practices delivered by a highly-trained team on the forefront of care. Your contributions will support innovative projects and activities and nurture further development of the program through continuing education. Ultimately, your contribution will lead to positive outcomes for patients and families.

Proceeds from the First Lady Shrine jewelry support this important project. Outright gifts designated for this project also are welcome.
