Photo Gallery » Books Come Alive 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.
