Dec My Room enhances the lives of children who are being admitted into a hospital for a prolonged amount of time. Dec My Room volunteers personalize the hospital room upon their arrival with items that complement the special likes and interests of the individual patient. These items are for them to enjoy during their stay, and take home when they leave. The idea is to help improve both the attitudes of patients and their healing process.

The success of Dec My Room depends on its volunteers, who work directly with pediatric and young adult patients who are in the hospital for a prolonged period of time. Dec My Room suggests that volunteers have prior experience volunteering in the community. To learn more, head here.

 

At Dec My Room's annual Ladies Lunch, hosted by Neiman Marcus, guests are treated to a chef-driven menu, special guests appearances, and the opportunity to bid on exciting raffle packages.
