(From the November/December issue of Inside Nationwide Children's)
Help us welcome Mama Mouse, our newest addition to the animal friend family. Mama Mouse, located on C4, holds three baby mice in her arms. Like each of the 19 animal friends found throughout the hospital, Mama Mouse was hand crafted by world-renown Carousel Works carvers in Mansfield, Ohio and took more than 300 hours to create. Our animal friends are the same types of animals that are native to Ohio. As a positive distraction, they allow children to exercise their curiosity, while encouraging families to forget where they are for a moment.
