Specialist helps young patients cope during hospital treatments

Sometimes when she needs a little encouragement, Logan Health Children’s Child Life Supervisor Amy Rohyans Stewart consults her “atta girl” file — full of mementos from past patients and families.  

One on her desk at all times is a card that pictures a pastel superhero costume on a clothes hanger which reads: “this must be yours.”  

It came from the mother of a former 6-year-old patient who had “crippling anticipatory anxiety,” according to Rohyans Stewart, and had tried several times to get a procedure completed, but always backed out due to her distress.
