Galaxy 51
Our programming allows children and staff to WATCH, LISTEN, and PLAY from the hospital bedside or LIVE in The Voice multimedia studio located in the Hospital’s Colket Atrium. Patients are also encouraged to work with the Galaxy 51 team to create and produce their very own projects from video diaries to music videos.
Galaxy 51 programming on channel 51 is:
- Therapeutic: provides opportunities for children to express themselves and supports children’s coping with the healthcare experience.
- Educational: provides opportunities for children to learn about the hospital environment as well as other topics.
- Interactive: gives children the chance to become involved in various aspects of production and programming, whether or not they are able to leave their beds/rooms.
- Entertaining: offers programs that serve as an enjoyable distraction from the routine aspects of hospitalization.
