THE STORY:
enCourage Kids Foundation wrote -
enCourage Kids Foundation encourages all kids facing health challenges to be carefree kids by creating environments and experiences that help them through each step of their medical journey.
Our programs reach kids facing a variety of health issues – from those receiving chemo treatments in a clinic to those who live with a chronic illness that may not be visible. What they all have in common is that they deserve the same opportunities to laugh, to play, and to have fun – whether they are being treated in the hospital or living with their struggles at home.
The programs that have made us so successful over the past 30 years are the ones that were developed – and grown – locally in the tri-state area, including Escapes, Hospital Happenings, Tablets, and perhaps the most impactful – our Pediatric Hospital Support Program.
