newly renovated pediatrics unit
playroom was recently opened
at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn
Methodist Hospital. The renovation
was made possible by a grant from the
enCourage Kids Foundation.
“I am thrilled to cut the ribbon and
officially reopen the playroom in our
pediatrics unit,” said Richard Liebowitz,
M.D., president of NYP Brooklyn
Methodist. “With the generous help
of enCourage Kids, we can ensure that
our young patients have the opportunity
to play and have fun even while
receiving inpatient care.”
The brightly decorated playroom
has increased space for play, more
organized storage for toys and activities,
and is more appropriate for
all ages and developmental stages.
The space also has a tree on the wall
where patients can leave a paint handprint,
joining the community of other
children who have received inpatient
care at NYP Brooklyn Methodist
Hospital.
“Being able to offer our youngest
patients a playroom like this is important,”
said Gaby Marden, child
life specialist at the Hospital. “The
medical care that our pediatric
physicians and nurses provide is
superb, and this playroom offers us
a space where children can interact
with each other, helping them
to cope better emotionally with
hospitalization.”
