No one likes to be sick and in the hospital. For a child, it can be a particularly frightening experience. Anything to distract them from pain and discomfort is very helpful. That’s why through the generosity of others, we purchase teddy bears, our Hug-A-Bears, to distribute to all of our littlest patients receiving care at our Hospital.
