style='font-family:"Tw Cen MT","sans-serif"'><br>
Most children enter the hospital having little or no idea about what to expect.
This causes them to experience tremendous stress during their hospital
stay and can ultimately become a detriment to their ability to heal.
Project Josh and Friends seeks to alleviate the stress associated with
hospitalization through the use of the human-animal bond.<br>
The goal of Project Josh and Friends is to provide hospitalized children at the
Loma Linda University Children's Hospital with a "Josh Kit."
Each kit includes a "Josh" plush puppy as well as a book
entitled I'll be OK. The book tells the story of a golden retriever puppy
named Josh who goes through an experience at a Veterinary Hospital which
ultimately helps him get back to his normal healthy state. By reading the
book, children learn about diagnostic procedures, surgery, and recovery all the
while being affirmed by Josh's favorite phrase: "I'll be OK."
The plush puppy serves an integral role in helping children cope with the
stress of a hospital stay. Josh stays with them everywhere they go,
serving as a constant reminder that the hospital doesn't have to be a scary
place and that they too will be OK.<br>
