Primary Children’s Hospital is a not-for-profit medical facility that offers services to children in Utah, and across the country. Utah Healing Center understands that Primary Children’s Hospital offers a lot to our community, we also understand that they have great need. During our team meeting, our staff put together 30 coloring page packets with color pencils. These packets will be given to patients and their families, so that the children have something to do while waiting for the medical staff. Waiting for treatment/answers can be very terrifying – we hope these packets will provide some comfort during those stressful times.
If you would like to assist with, here are some of the projects Primary Children’s Hospital could use.
