COMFORT FOR KIDS' WAGON!
COMFORT FOR KIDS' WAGON, full of small, age appropriate toys,
can be found in areas of Baystate Franklin Medical Center
where children might go for tests or treatment. Presently,
Comfort for Kids’ Wagons are located in the Emergency
Department, Radiology, Surgery and the Outpatient Lab.
We all know how frightened kids are in the hospital
environment. Any level of added comfort means a great deal
to our children. Comfort for Kids' Wagon allows kids to pick and keep
the toy. This wonderful program is meant to distract kids
from pain and anxiety as well as leave them with a good
outcome so they are not so afraid of hospitals..
From December 1st until December 22nd,
Franklin First FCU will place collection jars at our teller
counters. Any donation is greatly appreciated. All of the
money donated will go to BFMC for the Comfort for Kids' Wagons.
