Regional Hospice in Danbury adding floor dedicated to pediatric patients

Regional Hospice in Danbury will be adding a floor dedicated to pediatric patients near the end-of-life. President and CEO Cynthia Roy says the new wing is focused on providing a comforting respite for children that enter the center, with plans for a starry-skied ceiling, a comfortably designed environment, and beds that have the ability to go out on the patio to bring patients into nature.  Roy lost her best friend, Leslie, to leukemia when she was 16.  When Leslie was sick, she didn’t have the opportunity to go outside. Roy says one of the most important things was to have a center where beds could actually go out into the garden and patients could feel the sunshine on their face.  The designs can be viewed on Regional Hospice’s website.
