Organizations Filed Purposes: OUR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN IN OKLAHOMA WITH SUPPORT FOCUSED ON THE PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. BEING A PATIENT CAN BE A SCARY, OVERWHELMING, NOT-SO-FUN TIME--AWAY FROM HOME, SCHOOL, FRIENDS AND ORDINARY LIFE. VOLUNTEERS AND PROGRAMS HELP KIDS SMILE, LAUGH, CUDDLE, PLAY, LEARN AND CREATE--AS MUCH AS THEY CAN WHILE THEY'RE HERE.

OUR PATIENT & FAMILY PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CREATING JOYFUL, SUPPORTIVE EXPERIENCES FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES SINCE 1973. THESE PROGRAMS SUPPORT NEEDS FOR PLAY AREAS, FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL-- FROM NEARLY 300 ANNUAL COMMUNITY-SPONSORED PARTIES AND EVENTS TO THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS BY CHILD LIFE SPECIALISTS, MUSIC THERAPY AND FACILITY THERAPY DOGS. LONG-STANDING PATIENT & FAMILY PROGRAMS CAN BE COUNTED ON BY FAMILIES, SUCH AS: TOY CART, NICU CUDDLERS, TOYS, PLAYROOMS LIFE THE ZONE, HOLIDAY PARTIES, SPECIAL EVENTS AND MORE.

WIGGLE OUT LOUD IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY PROGRAM CONNECTING MUSIC, ARTS AND BEING OUTSIDE WITH ACTIVE, HEALTHY LIFESTYLES FOR KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF A FREE FAMILY MUSIC FESTIVAL AND SCHOOL PROGRAMMING. MESSAGING PROMOTES ACTIVITY, FITNESS, NUTRITION, HEALTHY MINDS AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUN.

MUSIC THERAPY, PAWS FOR PURPOSE & CREATIVE ARTS ARE THE NEXT LARGEST PROGRAMS. WE'VE SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED AND SUSTAINED OUR FIRST EVER MUSIC THERAPIST, BROUGHT IN MORE THAN 50 ANNUAL PERFORMANCES AND CONNECTED LIVE MUSIC IN OUR IN THE ZONE TV STUDIO. WE ARE ALSO THE FIRST TO ESTABLISH A FACILITY THERAPY DOG PROGRAM IN AN OKLAHOMA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
