FlexCare Clinicians Donate Portable Video Game Stations to Dell Children’s Medical Center

The Gaming Kiosks Provide Pediatric Patients With the Opportunity to Experience the Joy of Play During Their Hospital Stay

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2024 / FlexCare, a nationwide leader in travel nursing, allied health, and therapy talent management solutions for top healthcare facilities throughout the U.S., is delighted to announce our clinicians’ donation of portable video game kiosks to Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Made possible by the generosity of FlexCare’s clinicians, this initiative aims to bring comfort and fun to pediatric patients, allowing them to embrace the experience of being a kid even while in the hospital.

The gaming stations, built specifically for hospitals by Gamers Outreach, enhance patients’ experience through play, positively impacting their healing and, in turn, improving the experience for their families and the healthcare professionals who provide their care. In selecting Dell Children’s Medical Center as the recipient, FlexCare clinicians focused on making an impact where additional resources are critically needed – at a facility where 70% of young patients come from uninsured or underinsured families.

“Every year, we’re honored to join forces with our clinicians to bring moments of joy to pediatric patients, and we couldn’t be prouder of the impact we’re able to make as a team,” said Travis Mannon, CEO of FlexCare. “At FlexCare, our mission is to truly improve lives and enhance the healthcare experience. This initiative not only positively impacts the patient experience but truly enables a better experience for the care team as well.”

“We are incredibly grateful to the clinicians of FlexCare for this generous donation,” said Robyn Moyer, Director of Child Life and Expressive Therapies at Dell Children’s Medical Center. “These gaming kiosks ensure that every child, regardless of their family’s circumstances, has access to engaging activities that can help transform their hospital experience. It’s a wonderful example of how community support helps us provide comprehensive care for all our patients.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with the FlexCare team to fund four GO Karts for Dell Children’s Hospital. With each GO Kart delivering an estimated 2,900 play sessions annually, that’s a total of 11,600 moments of joy for patients and their families yearly,” said Edwin Nolasco, Marketing Director of Gamers Outreach. “It’s an honor to be part of something so impactful.”

Beyond connecting healthcare professionals with critical care roles, FlexCare is committed to improving lives by giving back to communities in need. This initiative not only supports healthcare facilities but also reflects the deep connection to the values of our healthcare professionals, as we work together to make a positive difference.
