Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital hosts Halloween parade for patients and their families

Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital’s Child Life Program hosted a Halloween parade for patients and their families. The event is an annual tradition at the children’s hospital. Staff volunteer their time and goodies to help create a sense of routine and normalcy for patients unable to trick-or-treat outside of the hospital. Nurses like Jenelle Vargulick, 11G, escort patients through a maze of treat stops in the children’s hospital “neighborhood” created by our own child life specialists. It’s a certain bright spot for patients like Shyea, pictured above. To see the album, visit www.facebook.com/UpstateGCH.
