“Silly Doctor Day is one of the medical play therapies that help patients become familiar with hospital equipment in a non-threatening environment. Reversing roles, our child life specialists become patients and the patients pretend to perform surgery, start IVs and bandage wounds. Generous support from Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation helps us fund a certified Child Life Specialist and purchase needed equipment and supplies to minimize stress and anxiety during a child’s healthcare experience.”

Child Life Services Supervisor
