Five members of the medal-winning 2016 USA Women’s Track and Field Olympic team made an exciting visit to Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai on Friday, September 9, where they engaged with pediatric patients and their families in air hockey and video games, and arts and crafts activities, at the Child Life Zone. They also stopped by the KidZone TV studio, where they appeared on a live show that was broadcast throughout the hospital. Proudly displaying their medals around their necks, the athletes answered questions from the pediatric viewing audience and later surprised children and adolescents at their bedside, where they chatted and graciously posed for keepsake photos.
