Description:
After the pediatric wing in the local hospital closed, a class of kindergartners helped the community address the needs of their "young people" by making the existing emergency room child friendly. Children's original artwork hung on the walls of the hospital. A "big important book" explaining hospital procedures, written and illustrated by the kindergartners, was available for parents and children to read while waiting in the emergency room. Finally, new toys for the waiting room were purchased to help comfort patients.
