Port-a-caths can feel scary, but through play, kids can gain confidence and understanding in their medical journey! In this video, we use fun, hands-on learning to introduce children to port-a-caths—helping them feel empowered and prepared for their treatment.

???? What You’ll Learn:
✔️ What a port-a-cath is and how it helps kids with childhood cancer and chronic illness
✔️ What to expect in a port placement and access, and helpful tips for success!
✔️ How to do medical play!

Medical play is a powerful tool! Studies show that patient education through play can reduce pre-procedure anxiety by up to 40% and improve cooperation with treatments.
