The hospital hosted the three day event which brought 450 kindergartners, their teachers and parent chaperones to tour most of the areas of the hospital.  The purpose of the event is to learn about  the hospital departments, all while gaining a comfort level within the hospital setting.  With the help of the California Highway Patrol Air Operations, CALFire, PHI Air Medical, and American Legion Ambulance, the students had the opportunity to tour helicopters, ambullances and fire engines, all of which are key factors for GREAT health care in our community.  After touring the hospital, students ended their day by having lunch with our physicians and staff. 

Each child was presented with a stuffed teddy bear wearing surgical scrubs and a stethoscope to check our their "patients" heart beat.
