Hospitals are often framed with fear; a visit to one is usually anything but normal. During procedures, children must remain still for 15-30 minutes or longer while surrounded by massive medical equipment. It can be a nerve-racking, uncomfortable, and scary experience. Susan Sugg, Manager of Child Life Services at the James and Connie Maynard Children’s hospital at Vidant Medical Center, explains, “In the treatment room, you’re very limited to how child-friendly you can make it. Before, there was a physical limitation, and technology hadn’t evolved to the point it has today."
