CHaD Trick or Treating 2017

Patients, families and staff from the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD) celebrated Halloween by trick-or-treating through the inpatient units at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. According to CHaD Child-Life Specialist Jessica Laperle, CCLS, this more than 30-year annual event “allows staff to come together with patients, for patients to come together with each other and lets families remember all of the fun stuff that happens outside of these walls, which is easy to forget when you are here. Halloween is a special time at CHaD. It is a time for us to celebrate with the entire hospital. Everyone is smiling, having fun, enjoying being here and being together, and highlighting who we are as a community,”
