Children admitted to St. John’s Children’s Hospital receive the finest medical treatment, emotional support and loving
care available anywhere. But children and families in the hospital do have special needs that can be met through the
generosity of individuals and organizations throughout Illinois.
Gifts of toys,
decorations,
time and more
can go a long way towards brightening a hospital stay. To learn our greatest needs at this time, please call our Pediatric Child Life Department at
(217) 544-6464 ext. 30594. Also, call the Child Life Department before you come by to drop off any
donations and be sure to attach your name and address to your donation.
Remember…our patients include many infants and toddlers. Please avoid toys that have small or sharp pieces or toys that
fall apart easily. Because of our infection control policy, stuffed or cloth toys must be new. Our patients range in age
from birth to teenagers.
