The ChildLife Program

Funds from the tournament benefit the Child Life program at Children’s of Mississippi. Trained Child Life therapists on inpatient floors and in the Surgery and Imaging Centers in the Kathy and Joe Sanderson Tower help patients understand what to expect during treatment and help them cope with the challenges of illness and hospitalization.

Child Life Specialists have many responsibilities, which include assisting with pediatric imagining an overseeing the process that determines patients' anesthesia needs. By using kid-friendly language and creating a positive first impression, Child Life Specialists have significantly reduced anesthesia requirements for children, resulting in more children receiving MRIs quicker and more easily.
