Books Come Alive

MHHC recently launched “Books Come Alive”, an initiative which is aimed to encourage all of our pediatric patients to read more books and foster the language-rich interactions between parents and their young children that stimulate early brain development. Our pediatric unit now has a Bookshelf which conveys the message that our pediatric waiting room is more than just waiting for your doctor to call you, but a fun interactive classroom where reading is valued, purposeful and constant. Kids can also find arts & craft activities, and can take a book home after seeing their doctor.
