Balise says they donated the cars after learning the current toy cars had been in use for a while. Luks says the hospital is glad to have a pink car, as several patients had asked for one.
The new Camaro and Silverado will be parked in the hospital’s pre-and post-anesthesia care units. The hospital’s current vehicles will also remain in use, giving patients a total of four vehicle options.
