Norwood Hospital Welcomes 'The Loopy Bag'

From the Norwood Hospital:

Norwood, MA -- Norwood Hospital’s pediatric team was excited to welcome Laura Reid and representatives from her non-profit organization, The Loopy Bag, to the hospital last week. The Loopy Bag provides children in the hospital with activities to keep their minds and hands busy. These anxiety-reducing activities include: books, puzzles, coloring books, painting projects and many other small, age appropriate activities.

The goal of The Loopy Bag is to help make being in the hospital less painful for both the child and their parent/guardian. The Loopy Bag provides gift bags for ages infant – preteen and even provides some essentials for moms and dads dealing with unexpected hospitalization of a child. For more information on this great local organization, go here.
