Review for Mattie Miracle Cancer Foundation, Arlington, VA, USA
Mattie Miracle provides much needed psychosocial support for pediatric patients in the hospital setting by funding child life specialists - a role that is often understaffed but a very important position at children's hospitals. Child life specialists help reduce the stress and anxiety that pediatric patients face on a daily basis with stressful procedures and new diagnoses. Without Mattie Miracle, many kids would go without this service. Mattie Miracle understands that treatment for childhood illness is about more than just physical health - it is about emotional and mental health.
Thank you Jess for your lovely message of support. We value you and your commitment to the child life profession.
