Being In The Hospital Can Be Monstrous!

To a child, a stay at the hospital can seem pretty scary, lonely, and downright sad.

Strange sights, sounds, and faces. Poking, prodding and machines. It can all add up to a pretty rough time.

The nurses at the RI Hospital United Nurse & Allied Professionals know firsthand that it's the little things that can make a child feel special, comfortable and brave. They created the UNAP Children's Hospital fund to give the children they care for a few of the little "extras" -- personal touches and fun things to do that will make their stay a little easier.

A Little Less Scary

 Thanks to the Fund, nurses can reward children for their bravery during procedures with stickers, toys, and other prizes.

They can keep children entertained and smiling, with holiday events, theme parties and special suppers. Nurses can also help children pass the time with books, games, music, or an in-hospital activities book paid for by the Fund.

The Fund pays for activities that bring families together to have fun and share special moments. And little red wagons for kids to ride in instead of wheelchairs. These are just a few ways the fund helps nurses provide care and caring.

We provide miles of smiles on the road to healing.
