LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - UMC Children's Hospital is celebrating its pediatric playground right outside the new children's hospital, known as the East Tower.
You may have heard us talk about this space last year during the Children's Miracle Network broadcast. Today, the dream is a reality thanks to your support of CMN, including at Panda Express locations where they collect donations.
Because of the restaurant's generous support, with more than $400,000 over the past several years, the playground is known as the 'Panda Playground'.
The goal is to provide kids a secure way to continue to be a kid while in the hospital. Whether they're seeking cancer treatment, overcoming a traumatic injury or recovering in the burn unit, the playground is a place for kids and families to enjoy.
