Pediatric ED Partners with Mass College of Art and Design

The BMC Pediatric Emergency Department has partnered with the Massachusetts College of Art and Design to create a more child-friendly environment in the ED.

Called the Boredom Busters Program, BMC and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design have painted multiple brightly-colored murals in the Peds ED exam rooms that feature characters such as Curious George and Winnie the Pooh. The Boredom Busters Program has also raised $40,000 for pediatric programs that aim to improve the patient experience while in the ED.

The BMC Pediatric ED and BMC Department of Pediatrics are recognized leaders in creating innovative programs that address pediatric health care needs, particularly for patients that are traditionally under-served by the health care system. Programs addressing housing, literacy, violence, and numerous other issues that affect child health have all been developed at BMC.
