“HOSPITAL offers a Hospital Readi-
ness program to elementary school
-youngsters in grades first through
‘third. Six hospital volunteers
recently received instruction from
those department heads who repre-
sent the department which the
youngsters will tour. Tour includes
a visit to the Operating Room,
Pediatrics, Laboratory, Food Serv-
ice, and Emergency Services.
The Hospital Readiness program
is designed to familiarize children
with the hospital environment,
introducing them to various depart-
ments, personnel and general proce-
dures. Children witness for them-
_ selves the friendly employees whose
varied tasks help patients get well.
Many times, the fears that young-
_sters associate with a hospital are
replaced by an interest in and
better understanding of the hospital.
The entire Hospital Readiness pro-
gram lasts approximately two hours
and includes a slide program, an
introduction to ‘“Happy’’ the muppet
and a tour.
The Hospital Readiness program
is offered on Wednesdays from 9:30
