Kids at Packard Children’s Hospital glimpse life at the Monterey Bay Aquarium
March 5, 2009Long hospital stays can be intimidating, especially for young children. Now there is a new way to brighten up those days and remind children of the activities they normally enjoy. The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital just launched a live video channel that constantly feeds images of activities at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, located just 90 miles away. Kids at the hospital have the exciting opportunity to see life through the eyes of penguins, bounce around the ocean with kelp and track aquarium divers as they feed and play with sea creatures.
Providing a live channel from the best aquarium in the nation is one illustration of how we THINK DIFFERENTLY at Stanford Hospital & Clinics and the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. We know that good patient service isn’t just about technical skills; it’s about COMPASSIONATE CARE. In our constant quest for IMPROVING patient care and providing BETTER MEDICINE, we are COMMITTED to introducing programs and services that make patients as comfortable as possible in their new surroundings.
