Pediatric patients ready for Halloween parade
-Annual tradition is all about creating good hospital memories-
BACKGROUND: It's never a "Treat" to be in the hospital, especially for kids during fun
holidays like Halloween. That's why the ChildLife department at University Hospital is making
sure to put some fun into Halloween.
Young patients, dressed in friendly costumes, will walk or ride in wheelchairs and
wagons during the annual Halloween parade. The children will "trick or treat" through many of
the administrative offices in the hospital, and staff members will reward them with a variety of
treats.
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.
