HOSPITALS

Care Wear Headquarters

For your convenience all of the hospitals that Care Wear is already assisting can be found here. The hospital name and address, the name of a staff liaison person, and the list of items that hospital wishes to receive are all posted. You may send items directly to one of the participating hospitals or you may contact a hospital in your own community. To learn the needs of your local hospital, contact the Director of Volunteers, the Director of Child Life, the Nurse Manager of the Nursery or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or the Director of Pediatrics. It is easiest for hospital personnel to respond to samples. It is recommended that you bring or send one of each size item that you wish to make. Label each with size and name of item. For example, Kimono/small, Kimono/medium, Kimono/large. After reviewing the samples, the hospital staff member can decide which sizes of what items can be used.
