The Recreation Therapy staff and volunteers provide patients with a child-centered environment through play, recreation, socialization, and preparation programs. Recreation Therapists are available to prepare children for medical procedures and surgeries, and they are able to help children cope more positively with their hospital experience by giving them opportunities to express their feelings with therapeutic play. Hospital-wide recreation activities include: Central Rec Room play and crafts for patients and siblings, the Rec Tech Room for computer games, video games, and computer education, bedside recreation, a preschool program, a teen group, pet-assisted therapy, and special entertainment.
