Country Artist Kane Brown Delights Loma Linda Patients

LOMA LINDA, CA— Fresh from the Stagecoach music festival, country chart-topper Kane Brown thrilled pediatric patients and their families at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital this week with a drop-in visit.

The 24-year-old singer met and encouraged the young ones on Monday, stopping first in the facility's Toyota Learning Center, then playing games with patients and sharing stories about his struggles in school and encouraging them "to keep trying no matter their situation," hospital officials said.

Brown, who performed Sunday at Stagecoach in Indio, visited several LLUCH units and took photos with excited fans, a visit coordinated by Inland Empire-based country radio station K-FROG 95.1 FM, which has a long-standing relationship with the hospital.
