Send a Smile, Send a Bear to hospitalized children this holiday season!

"I wish I could bottle up some of the images of little faces smiling or little arms hugging a teddy bear to their chests.   I have also been able to use the hospital bear friends to do medical play and allow patients to explore their emotions and possible misconceptions regarding hospitalization."

[Rebecca, Senior Child Life Specialist, Hackensack University Medical Center]

"The bears have become part of our informal “Meet and Greet” program and allow us to make introductions while offering a soft and cuddly friend for our patients.  They have loved them! "

[Lisa , Child Life Coordinator, Blythedale Children's Hospital]

"The kids are always so pleased to receive a lovely teddy bear, the parents are always impressed with the exceptional quality, and the nurses just love being able to bring that sweet smile to their patient's face!"

[Teresa , MA, CCLS, Rochester General Hospital]
