About Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital
"When my son has an appointment, his sibling is excited to come along because he knows he can go to the playroom to relax and have fun. My husband and I also get the opportunity to have an uninterrupted conversation with my son's health-care team. The boys always ask me if I need to go to the Resource Centre at Holland Bloorview so they can spend time in the playroom without me. Thank you to the Ronald McDonald House and Holland Bloorview for making our time in the playroom so fun and enjoyable." Sandy Steplock, Mother of Matheson and Zachary

“I think having a supervised playroom for outpatients and their siblings is an amazing idea. Times when clinics run behind schedule, parents end up with bored, frustrated kids. It’s very convenient and a huge stress reducer to drop my children off at the playroom while consulting with the doctors and therapists.” Joanne McQuinn, Mother of Amanda
