District Health Department #10 (DHD#10) is excited to announce that all 10 county offices now have sensory-friendly rooms after the addition of Crawford, Kalkaska, Mason, Mecosta, and Newaygo County. DHD#10’s sensory-friendly rooms are made possible through grant funding from the Children’s Special Health Care Services (CSHCS). Sensory rooms provide DHD#10 staff with a quiet, calming space to see clients. Sensory rooms reduce noise, remove bright lights, and can have a calming and therapeutic response that is beneficial to children and/or adults receiving immunizations. Clients and families with sensory-related needs can request the sensory rooms while making their appointment with DHD#10. Clients can also complete their paperwork in the sensory rooms, giving them more time to adjust before the appointment. After receiving their immunizations, clients can request extra time to remain in the sensory room if desired. "All 10 of our DHD#10 locations now have sensory rooms," stated Jessica Grace, DHD#10 CSHCS Supervisor. "All of the new sensory rooms went with the Under-the-Sea theme. We can’t wait for residents to be able to schedule appointments in the new rooms!” If you are interested in receiving immunizations and exploring the new sensory rooms, please call 888-217-3904 and schedule your appointment today!
