Interactive projector brings fun to children's waiting area at York Hospital
8 NOVEMBER 2024
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, children visiting York Hospital's Child Development Centre can now enjoy a more welcoming and engaging experience while waiting for outpatient appointments.
We have been able to provide funding to install an interactive floor projector that brings joy, fun, and comfort to young patients and their families.
The projector displays interactive games and images on the floor, transforming the waiting area into a playful and stimulating environment.
This interactive technology provides not only entertainment but also an opportunity for children to engage with one another, making the time pass more pleasantly before their appointments.
The games are designed to encourage social interaction and development, fostering skills like self-awareness, cooperation, and physical coordination, all while adding an element of fun.
Leanne Haycock, Play Team Leader at York Hospital, shared the positive impact of this new addition:
“During the pandemic, we had to remove toys from our children’s waiting area to comply with infection prevention guidelines. Now, this interactive projector helps distract children from the clinical environment and reduces the anxiety that hospital visits can create. It’s wonderful to see children so engaged and at ease.”
We are incredibly grateful to our supporters for making this possible—your donations continue to enhance patient care and provide moments of joy in our hospitals.
