Austin – It was a beautiful day at the municipal Lion Municipal Stadium for the first annual golf event, which was set Texas Children’s Hospital.
The event was held to raise funds for the hospital’s life program here in Austin.
Child Life Program It strives to alleviate stress and anxiety while strengthening the positive confrontation of patients and families during their time in the hospital.
The events organizers tell us that they were hoping to raise about $ 100,000, but they ended up exceeding this amount and raising nearly $ 200,000.
Ross Williams, Executive Director of Operations at Texas for Children in Austin and Central Texas, said the services provided by the child’s life team are crucial and can help the child pass a very stressful time.
Williams said: “If the child is going through surgery, they are likely to have anesthesia, but instead for the first time a mask is placed on their faces, the child’s life will actually go and practice them with the child and will allow them to play the mask and put it on their face.” “They can actually use the flavor, so that the smell of this mask is something that the child chooses and controls it.”
Williams said the hospital continued to expand in Austin, where he provided more services to children and their families.
