Creature Comfort Foundation Delivers ComfortKits and Slumberkins to Beacon Children’s Hospital ER Patients
SOUTH BEND, IN — The Creature Comfort Foundation has proudly partnered with Beacon Children’s Hospital to deliver a new round of emotional support resources to young patients in the hospital’s Emergency Department. The donation included our signature ComfortKits as well as Slumberkins Bigfoot and Sprite plush creatures — both designed to bring comfort, emotional connection, and a sense of security to children during difficult hospital stays.
Child Life Specialist Chloe Taylor expressed her appreciation for the delivery, saying:
“Our patients and staff have absolutely loved the Slumberkins and the ComfortKits! They’ve been a big hit for our hospital.”
Beacon Children’s Hospital, part of Beacon Health System, provides compassionate, comprehensive care for children in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan. Their specialized Child Life Specialists work closely with young patients and their families to ease fear, reduce anxiety, and help kids cope with medical procedures through play, education, and emotional support.
The Emergency Department’s Child Life team will distribute the donated items to pediatric patients both during and after visits, ensuring that even the youngest patients leave with a tangible reminder of care and kindness.
