Medical Play Dolls are dolls provided to children who are in the hospital. The dolls help the child understand their procedure and therefore reduce their anxiety. The doctors and nurses use the dolls to show the child what will happen pre-operation and post-operation. Medical Play Dolls are provided by donation only and are a large need throughout the country!
