Project Plush

Sabrina Young, R.N., and Deb Weingartner, R.N., nurses at the Cardinal Glennon Pediatric Emergency Care at St. Anthony’s Medical Center, enjoy watching patient Brittney Wiegand, 6, hugging her brand new teddy bear.  Brittney, daughter of Jake and Mary Wiegand of Affton, selected her stuffed animal from among those donated to the pediatric emergency department by residents of the Green Park Senior Living Community in south St. Louis County.  Pictured at right is Florence Bohn, who was named “Ms. Green Park 2009.”  As part of “Project Plush for Valentine’s Day,” the center’s residents demonstrated their kindness by contributing the money to buy the stuffed animals for the pediatric emergency department to distribute to its young patients.
