Flower Meet our Child Life Specialists
Tricia Ashe and Angela Franceschi, the Radiology Department's child life specialists, work with the radiology team to prepare children and families for medical procedures and help ease their fears and worries.
Kirsten Fowler, Child Life specialist on 8 North and West, says, "With older children, I might ask them what they think the procedure will be like, so I can clear up any misconceptions."
"Child Life Specialists help bridge the gap between home and the hospital and help patients adjust to the hospital environment," says Director Myra Fox, who has directed the department for 30 years. (pdf)
