2023-2024 Auxiliary President Janet Hutchinson volunteers her time at Cottage & Worthington Pavilion’s latest therapeutic activity session, where residents had the opportunity to participate in a heartwarming baby doll therapy exercise. Small groups of four residents at a time were given baby dolls to dress with nappies, panties, socks, hats, dresses, and blankets!

Some residents engaged with their dolls—naming them and developing immediate connections. One resident brought smiles to everyone’s faces by naming his doll “Dingbat” and playfully tossing it when it “wasn’t behaving.”
