The mammography team from TidalHealth Medical Imaging, Mears Campus in Seaford is helping spread Christmas cheer to TidalHealth Nanticoke's youngest patients. The team decided to forgo their traditional holiday gift exchange and instead purchased and donated toys for Brooke's Toy Closet.
Brooke’s Toy Closet is a program at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional and TidalHealth Nanticoke that provides new toys to children in the Emergency Department and Pediatric Units that the children get to keep and take home upon discharge.
The program was named in honor of Brooke Mulford, a young girl who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer, in 2009 at the tender age of 4 years old. After a valiant battle, she passed away in June 2017. Brooke had a vision to give toys to kids in the hospital to make their time there a little easier, and that vision is what sparked the creation of Brooke's Toy Closet.
The TidalHealth Foundation thanks our Seaford mammography team for supporting Brooke's Toy Closet and our pediatric patients — thank you all for being someone we can count on!
