Central Maine Medical Center has announced it’s designing a new section to brighten up their kids’ hospital stays.
The new “Pediatrics Joyful Space” at the Lewiston healthcare facility will open with a celebrity boost from New England Patriots 2X Superbowl Champ Rob Ninkovich.
The grand opening celebration “kick-off” is slated for 3:30 p.m. April 2.
“Made possible by a $85,000 grant from the Dunkin’ Joy In Childhood Foundation, the redesigned space features a Maine-inspired mural, interactive experiences, and custom Dunkin’ surprises in the pediatric waiting room,” a hospital spokeswoman said.
“Dunkin’ Joyful Spaces”are aimed at transforming sections of hospitals, which can traditionally seem overwhelming and unfamiliar for pediatric patients, into bright, welcoming, kid-friendly environments where children and their families can feel comfortable – and gain a sense of normalcy – while receiving care.
