Mother’s Day was a couple weeks ago, but the female patient caregivers who participated in a day of pampering at UVA Children’s are still relishing.

Volunteer members from UVA Children’s Advisory Board and the Patient and Family Centered Care (PFCC) Committee assembled and passed out over 100 Mother’s Day care packages, which featured pre-designed canvases for pediatric patients to complete and other care items. The next day, six stylists from Moxie Hair & Body Lounge donated their time and gave 27 haircuts and blowouts to caregivers.

Amy Cesak, Certified Child Life Specialist and coordinator for PFCC, summed up the celebrations in one word: “Incredible!”
