✨ Bringing Joy to Pediatric Patients! ✨
WVU Medicine Thomas Hospitals is proud to partner with Starlight Children's Foundation to help brighten the hospital experience for kids on our inpatient pediatric unit at Thomas Memorial Hospital.
Each month, Starlight delivers toys and activities that give young patients a sense of comfort and normalcy during stressful moments. Recent surprises have included virtual reality headsets, Disney gowns, LEGO sets, Play-Doh, board games, Cinderella wheelchair covers, and more!
“Our pediatric inpatient unit has been in urgent need of donations for our toy closet,” said Dr. Youmna Mousattat, lead pediatric hospitalist. “Thanks to Starlight, we can now ensure every child receives age-appropriate activities that bring joy during their healing journey.” 💛
Starlight also donated two Radio Flyer Hero Wagons, giving kids the chance to take fun ‘joy rides’ around the hospital and explore beyond their rooms.
