"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."

Health Centre Site
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.
