Kids took turns clambering up the slide at Niswonger Childrenâs Hospitalâs new adaptive playground on Friday, beaming as they coasted back down to earth.
Ballad Health unveiled the new play area during a press conference Friday morning. It is designed to be inclusive for young patients of all abilities.
âThe equipment that youâll see thatâs stationed throughout this area is designed for all children,â said Lisa Carter, the CEO of the Niswonger Childrenâs Hospital.
âObviously we have children in our building who have medical devices and equipment. Theyâre on oxygen, they have IVs attached to them, but we wanted to create a space where any child with any issue, any piece of equipment could come out and participate in play.â
