Central Florida Children’s Hospitals To Receive Magical Transformations
Walt Disney himself was a big supporter of children and families facing serious illness. Walt would join characters and fellow animators as they’d visit and find ways to bring joy and comfort to patients at children’s hospitals.
His legacy lives on today as part of Disney’s Team of Heroes (philanthropic outreach program) which is dedicated to delivering comfort and inspiration to children and families.
As we learned a while back, the Walt Disney Company made a 5-year and $100 million commitment to transform the patient experience at hospitals around the world.
These transformations will soon begin at three local children’s hospitals in Central Florida: AdventHealth for Children, Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital, and Nemours Children’s Hospital.
These children’s hospitals will soon feature interactive play spaces, whimsical murals, and “comfort corridors” that bring beloved Disney characters and stories to life. These changes will bring positive distractions and hopefully lessen the stress of each patient’s hospital stay.
Check out more about these transformations in the video below.
“We are thrilled that this important initiative is expanding to three of our local children’s hospitals right here in Central Florida,” said Rena Langley, senior vice president of communications and public affairs at Walt Disney World Resort.
Disney’s long history of caring for children includes sending care packages to children’s hospitals and granting nearly 10,000 wishes annually through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
