Med Magic

A passion project inspired by my love for children's health and magic.

Med Magic is a program I started during my M1 year. While in Chicago, I completed three months ofĀ magicĀ school training with Open HeartĀ Magic, a non-profit organization that performs bedsideĀ magicĀ for kids in hospitals. When I moved to Green Bay for medical school, I approached the Childlife team at HSHS Childrenā€™s and told them I wanted to bring a bedsideĀ magic programĀ to the families here.

I am grateful to HSHS Children's for allowing me to be part of their incredible Childlife team as a volunteer. I love entering the hospital each week knowing I will be bringing smiles to patients and their families.

One of my favorite parts of volunteering is visiting patients who have extended hospital stays. I get to know these patients and look forward to checking in each Wednesday to make sure they are practicing theirĀ magic!

I may perform the same trick for 20 different patients, but each time it is completely different depending on how they drive the story. I tell each patient I see ā€” every goodĀ magician is a good storyteller.
