When Rugby the Teddy Bear is chewed up by his family's new puppy, he needs help from a big team of healthcare heroes. Find out what each hero does at Fuzzer's Hospital to help Rugby get home safe and healthy!

Our goal when creating Hospital Heroes: Rugby's Medical Adventure was to share about lesser-known medical professions in a fun and creative way. Rugby's story introduces little readers to professions such as:

● Occupational Therapy (OT)

● Speech-Language Pathology (SLP)

● Dietetics

● Respiratory Therapy (RT)

● Mental Health Counseling

● Physical Therapy (PT)

● Social Work

The book promotes LGBTQ+ positivity and diversity in healthcare.

"You only aspire to what you've been exposed to.

Sometimes we might self-eliminate just because we don't think we're qualified."

Charles Q. Brown Jr., Four-Star General

It is extremely important for all children to see people who look like them represented as professionals with rewarding careers. We hope that by reading Hospital Heroes: Rugby's Medical Adventure, little ones will feel encouraged to step into a medical profession, realizing that by helping others, they too can become an invaluable healthcare hero.
