Enhancing Spaces for Patients in Crisis

Connecticut Children’s will use the grant to bring joy to its patients and their families by renovating the space in the Emergency Department for youth with mental health needs. The area will receive features that other patient rooms currently have, including décor and activity stations, to help alleviate stress and anxiety during a patient’s stay. “We are grateful to Dunkin’ and the Joy in Childhood Foundation for bringing joy to our patients with mental health needs,” said Bob Duncan, EVP and Chief Operating Officer at Connecticut Children’s. “Their generous gift will enable us to enhance the patient experience dramatically by installing wall murals and other attractive additions to patients’ rooms in the Emergency Department. We remain humbled at Dunkin’s longstanding generosity in support of our patients, their families and our team members.”
