On Friday, Dec. 22, John Webster, President of Mil-Net, Inc., traveled to TidalHealth Peninsula Regional from Capital Heights, Md. to deliver a generous amount of toys for Brooke’s Toy Closet.
Mil-Net, Inc., is a wonderful organization committed to promoting and enhancing positive youth opportunities in suburban, urban and inner-city settings. This organization is no stranger to our health system — for the past several years they have chosen to support children in our community who are patients at TidalHealth’s hospitals.
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 Mr. Webster for keeping our community as part of Mil-Net’s mission by supporting Brooke's Toy Closet.
