Funded by El Paso Children’s Hospital Foundation Facilitated by El Paso Children’s Hospital

At El Paso Children’s Hospital Foundation, we believe healing goes beyond medicine. That’s why we proudly fund the Child Life Specialist Program. A vital service that provides emotional, developmental, and social support to children and families during hospitalization.

With Foundation support, the program offers:

  • Therapeutic play and art
  • Medical preparation and procedure support
  • Sibling and family interventions
  • Resources to ease anxiety and promote understanding
  • Comfort and connection through creative expression

These services are offered hospital-wide, including in the PICU, General Medicine/Surgery, and Hematology/Oncology units.

Your gift helps kids feel like kids even when they are in the hospital.

Support the Child Life Specialist Program today and help us bring comfort, strength, and healing to children and families in their most difficult moments.
