Starlight Site playrooms, teen lounges and waiting rooms are
beautifully designed, inviting hospital environments created to
provide pediatric patients and their siblings with a place to
relax and play during their hospital stays or clinic visits.
Currently there are 15 Starlight Sites in pediatric hospitals
across the country. If you would like to learn more about the
Starlight Site program, please click here.
"Hospitals
can be a very scary place for children, teens and their families
to visit, but the Starlight Room has helped to change that image."

Starlight Site - Hospital For Sick Children
The Starlight Room at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto
is a special spot inside the hospital for hematology/oncology
patients who are facing an extended medical stay, or attending
the clinic for treatment. It's a place where children can go to
meet other children and forget their troubles, even if only for
a little while. In this safe haven, children play video games,
watch movies, surf the net, interact with other children and enjoy
the latest craft crazes.
