Preparing Kids for Surgery

The paediatric surgical program relies on volunteer-sewn medical dolls for teaching kids about surgery. These dolls are accompanied by an educational video for pre-op learning:

If you are a sewer please consider sewing these dolls for our paediatric surgical program. The only ground rules are: medical dolls must be sewn using a variety of skin tone fabrics and fabric for doll gowns are up to the choice of the sewer.

Please contact Oakville Hospital Foundation for more info or to arrange drop off.
