Take Your Child to Work at NY-Presbyterian Hospital

“Take Your Child to Work Day” at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital showed children of healthcare professionals the day-to-day functions performed by their parents at the hospital. At both the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and the Weill Cornell Medical Center, among the highlights of the day was a giant Game of Operation, an eight-foot long board game based on the one created by Milton Bradley in which children, dressed in full scrubs provided by the hospital, “operate” on a patient without setting off the buzzer.

In addition, NewYork-Presbyterian’s other major centers, The Allen Pavilion and the Children’s Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian, provided the children with a look at hospital life with tours conducted by Nickelodeon characters Dora the Explorer© and Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius©, respectively at each center.

Children ranging in age from nine to fifteen are expected to attended each center’s event.#
