 Imagine you've been in the hospital a few days and you've just been told that because of the rise in H1N1, you can't leave your room.
You've been going to the play room every day and now you're stuck in your room. Daytime TV doesn't interest you and neither does doing your homework!
And then you receive a Big Fun Box!

Receiving a Big Fun Box has been a very positive experience for both patients and families--and has hit upon a very important intervention that will improve the quality of life for patients admitted to the hospital."
