The Heroes for Kids Foundation is dedicated
to improving the hospital environment for children
across Canada, by researching the use of therapeutic designs and new
technologies and
implementing its findings within designated hospital areas. These
areas can then provide
therapeutic benefits to all sick children being hospitalized and prove
useful to medical specialists
in calming a child before and after treatment, stimulating positive
energy and imagination, restoring
optimism and reinforcing the determination to heal.
Our
Values
People First
We believe the potential of our foundation to make a difference
in the lives of children has no limits and is driven
by the support of our community, board members, employees, interns
and volunteers.
We are committed to a cause and a work environment that attracts,
motivates and recognizes high
involvement.
Team Work
Teams are the vehicles for our ideas and developments.
Every team member has the potential to influence the group.
When we energize and inspire each other, teamwork becomes the
foundation for an effective, successful and
fun environment.
Innovation and
Creativity
We are dedicated to introducing new and original designs and
furniture to hospital play areas
in order to provide children with
comfortable surroundings where they feel safe within the
hospital environment.
All creative ideas and innovative designs are welcome. We encourage
everyone in the
community to participate in design
development.
Management by Goals
We strive to meet the various needs of hospitalized children
by modeling our goals
after the needs specified by hospitals.
We are determined to maintain a close collaborative partnership
with medical
professionals in order to better
provide an environment that enables children
to truly feel safe and have
fun.
