Seattle Children’s, formerly Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center, formerly Children’s Orthopedic Hospital, is a children’s hospital in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The hospital specializes in the care of infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 in several specialties.
If you partner with Seattle Children’s Hospital, you are providing other students who are in the hospital to connect with other students their age. This organization is continuously improving outcomes. Improving outcomes is at the forefront of the work this hospital provides to bring hope, care and cures to every patient in need. Seattle Children’s improves its outcomes through innovation. They create, develop and implement new processes and services to provide the best care for their patients.
I provided a service with a 7th-grade class and we made friendship bracelets for children who are sick and admitted to Seattle Children's Hospital in Seattle Washington. Making these friendship bracelets provided the service of lifting up children's spirits who are in the hospital. When children are admitted to the hospital, they do not get to see their friends. So, making bracelets for them is letting them know other children think about them, care about them, and are rooting for them.
Another idea a teacher could do to provide service to Seattle Children's is by providing a donation, you can have students make books of their own interest. Students can also make crafts for uplifting decorations a child can display in their hospital room. For example, a paper flower, a Japanese lantern, or a motivation quote.
