Patients at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore learned a lesson on diabetes in a more kid-friendly setting–the Bronx Zoo. Young diabetics were shuttled to the popular attraction on July 15, learning the importance of remaining healthy.
In a field trip that included over 200 patients, their families, pediatricians, nurses and other staff members, participants took part in several activities that included arts and crafts, nutrition classes, and the importance of tracking blood sugar. Wildlife and Conservation artist Allison Nicholls was also in attendance creating artwork with CHAM patients, who were treated to full access to the zoo and a barbecue lunch.
