Congratulations to Children’s Minnesota child life specialists Jodi Betsinger, Kristine Adams VanKempen and Samantha Schackman for receiving the 2020 Faces of Change Award from PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center’s (NBPC) 6th Annual Unity Awards in recognition of their collaborative and innovative work in the cancer and blood disorders program.
Amid the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Children’s Minnesota and its patients have joined the “A World of Hearts” movement to inspire hope.
Here's the top 10 reasons you should call child life if you and your child are at Children's Minnesota.
Rachel Calvert, child life manager, joined WCCO’s Mid-Morning Show to explain the unique role child life plays at Children’s Minnesota.
At Children’s Minnesota, we put kids first, and we know that kids get better quicker when we take care of the whole family. This is why we offer many services and amenities to the whole family in addition to typical health care services.
Child life specialists use medical play to help children “play” out their feelings or anxieties or learn about an medical procedure.
As temperatures fluctuate, the number of slips and falls rise. Find suggestions to take the right precautions to prevent from falling.
Playing a game by yourself might help reduce pain, but playing with someone through your medical event is likely to be much more effective.
The Child Life Department at Children's Minnesota plans special events to help create memories and playtime for patients, families, staff and the community.
