Phoenix Children's Hospital

In late June, I was invited to visit the Phoenix Children's Hospital.  Channel 15 was there to document my visit which included visiting several patients, playing videogames in the Teen Room, making jewelry in the Tween Room and hanging out in the School Rocks Classroom.  I had an absolute pleasure getting to know each and every patient.  I hope I was able to brighten the day of just a few of the patients I had the chance to visit with. 

The Children's Hospital is an organization very close to my heart.  When I was young, my cousin was diagnosed with cancer and passed away at the age of 15.  During her battle, she received treatment at Seattle Children's Hospital.  Thank you to all of the doctors, nurses and other staff at the Children's Hospitals across the nation.  You are truly amazing!!! 

A special thank you to Jessica Catlin and Allison Outo for arranging my visit and the media coverage! 
(For privacy of the patients and their families, I am posting pictures that do not include them.)
