Children being treated for serious conditions at 69³ÉÈË Health have lots of ways to pass the time, and one has the added benefit of helping them realize how brave they’re being.
69³ÉÈË Health’s Child Life and Creative Arts Department offers the Beads of Courage program to children who are being treated for serious conditions. Each bead has a meaning — getting a shot, spending a night in the hospital, undergoing a surgery — which helps patients and family members understand how far they've come and how strong they can be. And they all come in beautiful colors and fun designs. Currently, 69³ÉÈË Health’s Beads of Courage program is solely funded by Donut Dash. Learn more in the above video.
