Brookfield-based Cultec and The Ridgefield Playhouse are bringing smiles to kids treated at Danbury Hospital, New Milford Hospital and Norwalk Hospital Pediatric Care Units through the Cultec “Happy Healthy Kids” program, made possible with support from Ridgefield law firm Hastings, Cohan & Walsh, LLP, The Toy Chest of Ridgefield, and Danbury-based toy maker Luke’s Toy Factory.
Through the program, children discharged from the Danbury Hospital pediatric treatment center receive a goodie bag containing a $50 gift certificate to The Toy Chest courtesy of Hastings, Cohan & Walsh, LLP, a 3-D puzzle truck from Luke’s Toy Factory, and tickets to an upcoming family show at The Ridgefield Playhouse, made possible by Cultec.
“The Happy and Healthy Kids Program has been received very well by children, families and staff alike. Families are extremely appreciative of the gift bags, and staff feel Luke’s Trucks are wonderful toys that a child can play with while in the hospital,” says Patrick Killeen, Chief Physician Assistant for the Department of Pediatrics at Danbury Hospital. “Parents say they’re thrilled with the gift certificates for the Toy Chest and the Ridgefield Playhouse, noting that the gifts give their children an event to look forward to when they leave the hospital.”
