Madeline Guarraia of East Lyme battled cancer for several years until she passed away at the age of 9 in 2016. During her numerous stays at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital, she looked forward to selecting a toy from the Toy Closet.

Knowing firsthand that a hospital stay can be scary and lonely for a child, Maddie wanted all children who are treated at YNHCH to also be comforted by the Toy Closet. Every year her family and friends coordinate “Madeline’s Wish Toy Drive” in her memory to honor that wish. Collection boxes are set up in local schools and businesses and from Mystic to Branford, and thousands of toys are donated.

The Toy Closet Program supplies more than 400,000 toys annually to locations in our hospitals, Emergency Departments and Pediatric Specialty Centers from Old Saybrook to Greenwich. Toys are given out 365 days a year. To learn more about the Toy Closet program or to donate, visit http://ynh.care/13V or call 203-688-5717.

Measles is highly contagious and can lead to severe outcomes in at risk populations, especially newborn babies.

Measles is a vaccine preventable disease, so when there are groups of unvaccinated individuals, that increases the risk of it spreading.

“A common misconception is that if everybody else is vaccinated, then people don't have to vaccinate their child because there's no chance that they will get it,” said Thomas Murray, MD, PhD, associate medical director of Infection Prevention at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital and professor of Pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine.

“There can be herd immunity, but if you get pockets of unvaccinated people in a small area, that’s going to be a high-risk environment, even if the rest of the population is highly vaccinated.”
