UTMB Children's Hospital

The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Children's Hospital will hold its annual "Come Out and Play" event, February 12 from 5:30-8:30 p.m., at Levin Hall on the corner of 11th and Market Streets in Galveston.

The event, which includes an evening of food, dancing and children's games, is held to support several hospital programs. A $50 admission charge will be used to further the hospital's immunization initiative, enhance its musical therapy program and update the pediatric intensive care waiting room.

Tickets for "Come Out and Play" may be obtained by contacting Patty McCarroll at (409) 772-5750, or via e-mail, patty.mccarroll@utmb.edu

Past projects of the Children's Hospital Advisory Board have funded several important additions to the hospital, including a playground and a children's garden.
