Mini-Con Events
Joy And Ink’s Mini-Con Events brings the delight and contentment of grand conventions directly to the children’s hospital, but in a miniature form. It encompasses donated artwork, engaging activities, and much more, all tailored for the children’s enjoyment. Additionally, the presence of superheroes in captivating costumes adds an extra touch of excitement to the experience.
Comic-Con & Catering
Eligible children and parents/guardians are welcome to join Joy And Ink and a chosen group of individuals to attend Comic-Con in person. Afterwards, we invite you to join us for dinner to wrap up this thrilling day!
Arts In Medicine
Arts in Medicine (AIM) utilizes art and creativity to promote healing and improve overall health. Studies have shown that art can function as a form of therapy by reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing mood, boosting self-confidence, serving as an emotional outlet, improving cognitive abilities, promoting social interaction, and expediting recovery from illnesses.

This program provides individuals with valuable resources to effectively address and overcome obstacles that may arise.
Pediatric Wellness Visits
