The Sibling Playroom is a unique playroom just for the siblings of patients who visit and receive care at St Louis Children’s Hospital. The Sibling Playroom is a fun space with toys and activities available to meet a wide variety of interest and needs and is made possible through generous donations to the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Foundation by employees and other donors. The Sibling Playroom is supervised by two staff members of the child life department that help engage children in play and keep them safe during their visit.
