Patient and Family Support

Your support allows us to use the healing Power of Play to improve the patient experience and recovery outcomes. Giving provides our patients' families a home away from home and offers our patients enriching, healing therapies through art, music, pets and our full-time clown, Lotsy Dotsy.

You help us support families through services such as:

  • Conine Clubhouse, a hotel-like home away from home where patients’ families can stay at no cost to them
  • Personal Navigators who streamline appointments and find local resources for families
  • Child Life specialists who help patients and families understand what’s happening and cope through age-appropriate support and programs

Your donation also creates patient and family space for families to dine, relax, play and bond together.
