White Plains Hospital’s Post

Thank you to Sanjana Chandran, 9, daughter of Dr. Preya Ananthakrishnan, who generously donated dozens of Squishmallows to the White Plains Hospital Family Health Center. Sanjana came up with this idea because she wanted kids who are sick to have a buddy to hug to make them feel better. Thank you, Sanjana, for your kind gesture - there will be dozens of more smiles out in our community because of you!
