Steelers rookies share a little joy with young patients
Games, crafts and time together made a hospital visit a bright spot for children and their families.
Summary
Steelers rookies visited UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh for a Renegade Rookie Visit on October 13. In the Fred Rogers Atrium, they played games, worked on crafts and posed for pictures with young patients. The visit formed part of the rookie class’s community activities.
Why it matters
Games and crafts offer young patients a shared activity outside the usual focus on treatment. The contribution here is the players’ time and personal interaction.
