Money raised from the gala will help build a dedicated teen room, specifically designed for the needs and preferences of teenagers . This pediatric age group has unique developmental, emotional, and social needs that differ from those of younger children. A dedicated space can offer age-appropriate amenities and activities, such as gaming consoles, music, quiet space and comfortable seating areas to help patients feel more at ease and engaged during their stay. Teenagers are often the “forgotten” pediatric age group and the Jonathan Brown Foundation is working with Keaton’s House to ensure their needs are accommodated.

Jonny would approve!
