“The Brady wagons have made such a difference to our young oncology patients! The role of physical therapy is to encourage all our patients to get up and move, even those who are not feeling up to walking. Having the wagons with the IV pole attachment has allowed parents to enjoy strolling the hallways with their child without having to worry about pushing an IV pole alongside. This has aided in patient’s recovery since they are out of bed more, sitting up and having more social interactions! Game changer!”
