Holiday Giving Program Kicks Off At Children's Specialized Hospital

Local residents, businesses and organizations are encouraged to support children with special needs this holiday season by purchasing toys from the hospital's "wish list."

Children’s Specialized Hospital is holding its annual Holiday Giving Program.  This special program helps make the holidays a little brighter for patients at Children’s Specialized Hospital. 

Community members or businesses are encouraged to purchase toys from the hospital’s “Wish List.”  This list has been specially prepared by the hospital’s therapists and clinical staff. Not only will 120 patients spending the holidays at one of our inpatient hospitals receive special presents at the holiday party, but therapists and clinicians will use these toys and games as tools in therapy sessions with all of patients throughout the year.
