Creature Comfort Foundation Continues Partnership with Lenox Hill Hospital to Support Pediatric Patients Through ComfortKits and Slumberkins
New York, NY — Creature Comfort Foundation is proud to highlight its continued partnership with Lenox Hill Hospital, part of the Northwell Health system, through ongoing donations of ComfortKits and Slumberkins for pediatric patients receiving care in ambulatory surgery.
The most recent donation supports children undergoing same-day surgical procedures, providing emotional comfort and coping tools during what can be a stressful experience for young patients and their families. ComfortKits and Slumberkins are distributed by Lenox Hill’s nursing and Child Life teams to help reduce anxiety, promote calm, and offer reassurance during medical visits.
Lenox Hill Hospital is recognized for its commitment to patient-centered care and clinical excellence in the heart of New York City. Its pediatric support teams work closely with families to ensure that emotional well-being is addressed alongside medical treatment — a mission that aligns closely with Creature Comfort Foundation’s core values.
This partnership is especially meaningful to the foundation, as founder Ava had the opportunity to visit Lenox Hill Hospital this past summer, meeting with staff and witnessing firsthand the impact that small acts of comfort can have on pediatric patients.
Jennifer Reeves, MS, CCLS, Certified Child Life Specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital, shared her appreciation for the continued collaboration and noted the positive response from both staff and families receiving the ComfortKits and Slumberkins.
As Creature Comfort Foundation continues to grow its network of hospital partnerships nationwide, maintaining active and ongoing relationships with trusted partners like Lenox Hill Hospital remains a priority. Through continued donations and collaboration, the foundation aims to ensure that children facing medical procedures feel supported, seen, and never alone.
