I can't imagine there is anyone out there that hasn't experienced, in some capacity, what it's like to take a child to the doctor; their fear, anxiety and apprehension. The Standish Foundation for Child and Family Centered Care is working diligently to help make the doctor/hospital experience more pleasant for children & their families. Based on a culmination of years of experience from the founder and the advisory council, the Standish Foundation is currently working on a project to share methods and techniques with health care practitioners that will help alleviate some of the anxiety and fear that children and their parents face when visiting doctors.

The Standish Foundation fills a much needed void in the world of improving the experience of the hospitalized child! They educate healthcare providers on ways to help children have FUN in spite of unfortunate circumstances and they sponsor incredible projects all over the world which enhance the lives and health of children.
The Standish Foundation for Children changes lives of those they serve, as well as anyone involved in the process. Children and families get more of what they need to make hospitalization easier in a variety of settings and countries. Any Standish's vision lights the way to making this world a better place.
I have personally witnessed the passion and commitment that the Standish Foundation for Children puts forth to minimize the pain and suffering of hospitalized children. They partner with healthcare providers to dramatically change the hospital experience for kids and their families.
This passion and commitment starts with leadership and board of directors. They all set an extraordinary example to all those who they work with, partner with and serve the community with.
Their goals to deliver programming that brings smiles to hundreds of hospitalized children and their families is unwavering. The smiles from a child and the ease of stress to parents is a priceless gift that this foundation does not take for granted.
It is an honor to be part of such a wonderful foundation
