To share the dramatic success of a one-of-a-kind program that’s fueling developmental milestones for kids who are in the hospital long-term, Nick Holekamp, MD, chief medical officer at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital, has been invited to speak at TEDxStLouis “Imagine That!” talks Saturday, May 13.
Each year, Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital partners with Fire Truck O’Toys to host a Santa for Siblings event just for siblings of patients at the hospital. “We are a holistic hospital so we work to support families and siblings as well as patients,” explains Tricia Sievers, the Ranken Jordan volunteer manager who created the annual Santa for Siblings event in 2014. “Family members are often so focused on their child who is a patient that their other children don’t get as much attention. Santa for Siblings is a special time just for siblings so they know they’re appreciated, too.”
