Pediatric patients are in for a “Boo-tiful” experience
—Annual Halloween parade to kick-off with plenty of “trick-or-treating” —
BACKGROUND: Just because children are in the hospital doesn’t mean they can’t
experience the fun of Halloween. Pediatric patients from the Janey Briscoe Children’s Center at
University Hospital will be parading through administrative offices with their Halloween bags
ready to be filled with goodies Friday afternoon.
The annual parade of costumed patients will walk or ride in wheelchairs and wagons to
pick up fun treats (and no tricks) from hospital employees, who look forward to this opportunity
to bring a smile to the face of a sick or injured child.
The Janey Briscoe Children’s Center at University Hospital cares for children from all
over Bexar County and the 22-county trauma region. Many of these young patients have
undergone complicated surgical procedures or are still coping after a devastating traumatic
experience. In addition to making them well enough to go home, the ChildLife team tries to help
create at least a few happy hospital memories.
