| Toys, Books and Games |
Nonmonetary Items, such as Toys, Books, Games and Art and Craft Supplies
As a pediatric hospital, toys, books and games are an important part of the care we provide to our young patients. Each child admitted to the hospital receives a welcome bag containing a variety of toys and games to help them feel more comfortable during their stay. Whether used during waiting time for a clinic visit or as part of playtime in our Dr. Bob and Jean Smith Child Life Playroom, your gift of toys, books and games gives our patients the opportunity to "just be kids."
