HealthWorks! Kids' Museum - Introduction

Organizations like ours try to learn from our experiences, both the successful and the not so successful ones. This is a way of assessing our effectiveness and sharing information. It is an important process for the growth of any organization. In doing so, we have recorded some of our learning process around the concept of a "learning history."

We went to the sources of Healthworks! Kids Museum - the people who originated the concept, those who developed the plans and formed the body to oversee it, those who helped to implement and manage it, and even those who received its benefits. We tried to capture and convey the experience and insights of these people from the very beginning. The result of this new form of assessment, a learning history, is put forth on the pages that follow. We believe that what we have learned in both the successes and the challenges will help you to develop and implement a successful children's learning center in your community.

Memorial Hospital staff members are more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this process. Please feel free to call us at (574) 647-7115.
