Mission

IN 2024, WE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE KEY SUPPORT TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN NEED AT ALL OF OUR HOSPITAL PARTNERS, ESPECIALLY AS THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT SEEKS TO RESPOND TO THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS FACING YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE WAKE OF THE PANDEMIC. WE ARE SERVING MORE OF THAT POPULATION, BOTH ON THE REGULAR MEDICAL/SURGICAL FLOORS AND IN PATIENT PSYCHIATRIC UNITS. WE ANTICIPATE THAT WILL CONTINUE FOR YEARS TO COME. 2024 ALSO WITNESSED OUR EXCITING, FIRST-EVER EXPANSION TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, WHERE WE LAUNCHED A BRAND NEW, TWO-DAY-A-WEEK RED NOSE DOCS PROGRAM AT LUCILE PACKARD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL STANFORD. GIVEN PACKARD CHILDREN'S STATURE, WE BELIEVE THIS WILL BE A GAMECHANGER FOR HEALTHY HUMOR IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. IN 2024, HEALTHY HUMOR (HH) WAS THRILLED FOR OUR THIRD IN-PERSON RETURN TO HOLE IN THE WALL GANG CAMP, A 35-YEAR-PLUS TRADITION AT THE SUMMER CAMP FOUNDED BY PAUL NEWMAN FOR MEDICALLY VULNERABLE CHILDREN.
