Last week BxCM hosted an amazing Family Day event themed "Prescription to Play" for our friends from Montefiore Health System. The event highlighted the importance of healthy, active lifestyles through fun and community engagement. Montefiore Einstein associates and their families enjoyed a day of play, learning, and wellness activities. A highlight was the debut of the "Walk with M.E. (Montefiore Einstein)" Parade, now a daily tradition at the museum! The event also unveiled the Montefiore Einstein Mile, promoting movement and health in a family-friendly setting. "The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein is proud to partner with The Bronx Children's Museum in encouraging movement and health through play as part of more than 130-year commitment to this community,” said Michael D. Cabana, MD, MPH, The Michael I. Cohen, M.D., University Chair, Department of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Physician-in-Chief, The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM). “Events like 'Prescription to Play' Family Day demonstrate our dedication to fostering wellness beyond the bedside. By engaging families in fun, educational settings, we're helping to nurture the physical, social, and emotional well-being for a healthier Bronx."   Thanks to everyone who made it a success! #FamilyDay #HealthyLiving #BronxChildrensMuseum Special thank you to Melissa Cebollero Michael Cabana Yianna Justo and the team from Monterfiore Einstein!
