Project Sunshine TelePlay is a new program using video technologies to bring play and activities to pediatric patients.
COVID-19 has impacted hospital visitation and the use of playrooms for pediatric patients and their families. Project Sunshine responded to this issue by creating TelePlay. TelePlay provides developmentally appropriate and necessary play opportunities to pediatric patients and their families. TelePlay also helps to increase joy and emotional relief, while decreasing stress and feelings of isolation.

What Makes Us Unique
We serve pediatric patients, from newborn to 21 years old, facing all medical challenges - both acute and chronic.
Our programs encourage family members to participate. We know that when a child is sick, the whole family is affected.
We work with patients in a variety of settings, including inpatient, outpatient, long-term care, and residential facilities.
