We were so proud to purchase the first 20 dolls for the Baxter Health Behavioral Health unit to start this program 💙 We love supporting our patient’s needs through philanthropy.

Baxter Health Behavioral Health is proud to announce the introduction of a groundbreaking therapeutic tool for patients living with advanced dementia. In partnership with The Grand Baby Project, Baxter Health became the first hospital in Arkansas to offer evidence-based dementia doll therapy, designed to enhance emotional well-being and provide comfort and support for patients.

The Grand Baby Project, a Houston-based organization, is the nation’s leading provider of dementia doll therapy. This innovative approach is rooted in the understanding that individuals living with dementia continue to need attachment, identity, and a sense of purpose. Through the use of specially designed pretend babydolls, patients are able to reconnect to love, comfort, and meaning in their daily lives.

“Dementia can make the world feel isolating for those affected,” said Sherry Wright, Behavioral Health Coordinator at Baxter Health. “It is a testament to Baxter Health's dedication to the community that we are the first hospital in Arkansas to provide this therapeutic tool that will provide a sense of purpose and support for patients with advanced dementia.”

To make a donation to this project to help purchase additional dolls, please contact the Baxter Health Foundation at (870) 508-1770. For more information, visit baxterhealth.org/GrandBabyProject.
