5. Support Isabela, Our Facility Dog Enhancing Patient Care
Isabela, Baystate Children’s Hospital's first facility dog, works alongside a certified child life specialist to provide care to kids. While Isabela was initially brought to Baystate Health through the Dunkin’ Joy In Childhood Foundation, ongoing support is needed for supplies such as food, toys, and training items. A donation could help ensure that Isabela continues to make a positive impact on the well-being of children, families, and staff.

6. Toy Fund Donations to Help Kids
Bring comfort and joy to the youngest patients at Baystate Health by contributing to our toy fund. Whether it's a physical exam at community health centers or a procedure at Baystate Medical Center’s Pediatric Procedure Unit, toys and stuffed animals play a crucial role in easing anxiety and creating a more peaceful experience for young patients. Your donation allows our healthcare team to purchase items that are perfect for their patients based on what may be age and interest appropriate.
This holiday season, make a difference in the lives of those served by Baystate Health. Your donation, regardless of the amount, contributes to healthier tomorrows for our community.
