Hannah Byrne, Child Life
| “We have learned so much during this process! We have really enjoyed working with the architecture firm who has helped challenge us to create play spaces that can be adaptable and multi-functional. During this process, we are challenged to think beyond what would work now, but instead how will this space work 10+ years from now.” |
“I am looking forward to additional play spaces throughout the hospital that patients will have access to. As a child life specialist, we know play spaces are so important for helping normalize the hospital environment for a patient and overall helps a patient cope and encourages them to be a kid while healing. Family centered care is important, and the spaces in the new hospital are being designed to support that care.”
