Ringing in 2021!

Happy New Year!  Here at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, we love a holiday and a good theme!   The music therapy team is so fortunate to collaborate with many talented departments and people at the hospital.  One team of people that we work with are the child life specialists.  For New Year’s Eve, Mikaela DeMartini, one of our child life specialists and I collaborated to help bring some fun and cheer to ring in 2021!

To celebrate New Year’s Eve, we brought the party to patients and families so they could celebrate in the safest way possible. 

We created a “party in a bag” for our teens!  This included:  hats, decorations, leis and New Year’s trivia.  Parents were also offered sparkling apple cider and pastries to enjoy!

Just because we couldn’t gather all together didn’t mean we still couldn’t have some fun and ring in the New Year!
