July 22: Ann Hannan
Join us Tuesday to hear from Ann Hannan, Director of the Riley Cheer Guild and Gift Shops at Riley Children’s Health.
The Riley Cheer Guild, a 101-year-old volunteer auxiliary, is dedicated to bringing comfort and cheer to patients and caregivers at Riley Hospital for Children and IU Health’s adult hospitals. From music, art, and dance movement therapy to maintaining the beloved toy room, the Guild funds programs that uplift and enhance the hospital experience for children and families.
Ann will share insights into these impactful initiatives and the vital role the Cheer Guild plays in patient care. We’ll also hear from our Community Service Committee about how our club continues to support the Guild’s mission.
This fall, Ann celebrates 25 years with IU Health, Riley, and the Riley Cheer Guild. She began as Riley’s first board-certified music therapist, creating a hospital-wide program serving all inpatient units. Since 2016, she has served as Director of the Guild and continues to support pediatric ethics consultations through the Fairbanks Center for Medical Ethics.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how the Cheer Guild brings joy, healing, and human connection to those who need it most.
