Child Life specialists- loving patients through times

Hannah Rush is a Child Life specialist at IU Health North Hospital. She attends to the psychosocial needs of young patients while they receive outpatient clinical care. "Here at IU Health North specifically we're a very close-knit team and we collaborate with each other all day every day to support patients and families through some of the hardest experiences of their lives," said Hannah. "It's really joyful to see my patients on a weekly or monthly basis and be there during the tough moments, but also just getting to play and be there with them as a person... and just love them through it."
