‘The ones we play for’: Iowa keeps ‘wave’ for young patients

The Child Life program also has a pair of Ohmni robots, which patients can control from their beds to get a virtual stadium tour.

“We have a great relationship with the football team, and actually with university athletics across the board and all the different teams,” Baxter said.
