New volunteer registry for clinical research

CHB-Connect is a new way for Children's Hospital Boston employees or other individuals to participate in clinical research studies at the hospital. Those who register will be able to select specific medical areas of interest and/or register as a healthy volunteer at www.childrenshospital.org/connect. Researchers with IRB-approved protocols at Children's will have access to the registry's database and can contact individuals in the registry at http://crp-apps.tch.harvard.edu/connect.


Bowl it like Beckett

Professional Boston athletes, actors and comedians downed pins in order to raise funds for the Josh Beckett Foundation and Children's cancer care and research in July. Six patient families mingled with Sox celebrities, Celtics stars and Bruins players. Beckett hopes the event will raise an estimated $325,000 for the hospital.


Parking in the Cafe

Employees will now be able to purchase parking vouchers from the cashiers in the Cafe by using their ID as fast cash. Vouchers can still be purchased at the Parking Office, but this is another way that the Food Services Department is trying to make the Cafe "all things for all people."


 

MEHC Summer Safety Fair a success

Dozens of local families attended Children's Martha Eliot Health Center's (MEHC) annual Summer Safety Fair. The main goal of the fair was to inform families how to keep children safe and healthy. MEHC staff distributed 180 free bicycle helmets, which children wore during a bike rodeo in the health center's parking lot. Face painting and raffle prizes were favorite activities.
