Here To Play runs at partner medical facilities. The site's partner list (https://projectsunshine.org/partner-medical-facility-list), headed "Program Partners in the U.S." and marked "Here To Play and Teleplay partners only", names hospitals, clinics, Ronald McDonald Houses and family-support nonprofits under 36 state headings; it also lists partners in Canada, Israel and Kenya.
Treat it as a partial list: the site also says "We partner with 500 medical facilities and nonprofits" and does not say which listed partner hosts which activity, so ask your child life team whether your hospital takes part.

How to get started

Does a social worker or care team need to start it? No. A required care-team start is not published; the family can use the available route below.
