A hospital room can be scary and overwhelming for children who have experienced an accident or injury. Now, the staff at NYC Health + Hospitals are working to make it less frightening.

The program is offered to students almost anywhere thanks to virtual platforms.
News 12’s Alexa Farrell gives us an inside look at how the team and the program are helping these students.
