As a pediatric resident at CHLA, one of the most fulfilling things I can do when I have a free moment is go to the toy room, pick out some toys, and hand-deliver them to my patients. It helps us care for our kids in a more holistic way and build a trusting relationship between patients, families, and the medical team. Since we are so busy, we never know ahead of time when we'll actually have time to visit the toyroom--so it would effectively eliminate this as an option if the toyroom were to be moved off campus.

The toy room allows our physicians to go the extra mile and put a smile on our patient's faces. The toy room truly brightens our patient's stay, and it would be a true loss if we were to move it.

Going to the toy room and bringing toys to kids has been such a meaningful experience for myself, other residents, and even medical students. Please keep it on campus!

Being able to take a trip to the toy room and select toys specifically for each of our admitted patients based on what we know about them is an incredibly valued experience! I have very positive, fond memories of selecting the perfect toy and being able to give them to my patients. I think it is an important experience for both the residents and our patients. It is always the perfect moral boost during any difficult time on the wards, and allows us to show our patients that we know them and we care about them as children, beyond their disease process.

We should absolutely keep the toy room on campus. It gives our medical students and residents the opportunity to provide toys to patients and engage with play-- which is important for both trainee mental health and learning about development.

The toy room needs to stay on site at CHLA! Receiving a toy can distract from the difficulty of hospitalization for patients and their families. As a pediatric resident I have seen multiple times how the simple gift of a toy strengthens the relationship between the clinical team and patient, especially reminding all that we all have the patient’s best interests as our top priority.

As pediatric residents, we often don't have time or aren't capable of travelling very far. Moving the toy room off site would make it impossible for us to visit/bring toys to our patients.

The ability to visit the toy room to pick out toys that appeal to our patient’s unique individual interests is a huge asset in building strong and trusting therapeutic relationships!

The toy room is such an important part of normalizing child's experience at CHLA.
