What do a penguin, giraffe, llama, dinosaur and unicorn all have in common?

They can all bring joy to a patient in the hospital!! Now through April 3rd, you can donate a care package to brighten the day of a patient at Kentucky Children's Hospital. And to sweeten the pot even more, for each care package purchased, a percentage of the total sales will come back to the children's hospital.

UK Kentucky Children's Hospital
•
Makenna David left an indelible influence on children’s care at the UK Chandler Hospital. Makenna died of a rare lung disease in 1998, just a few months before her second birthday. While this tragedy will forever leave a mark of sadness, her parents – Sheila and Greg David – have used it to honor their daughter through the Makenna Foundation.

With generous support from the foundation, the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center was established in 2010 at Kentucky Children’s Hospital to provide specialized care for children in an environment that meets their unique needs. Physicians here are board certified in emergency medicine and the emergency medicine staff is specially trained in pediatrics.
This allows the center to treat all types of pediatric emergencies in an environment specifically created for the safety and relaxation of children.

The Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center, which is the only dedicated pediatric emergency department in Central and Eastern Kentucky, has also been verified as a Pediatric Level I Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma.
