About This Web Page

When children are receiving treatment for their illness hospital stays can be a long and boring experience. Rosie's Love has purchased TV/VCR's, videos, games systems and laptop computers for the children to use during their treatment at Albany Medical Center. This web page was assembled to give the children a place to go from within our web site to continue their learning experience and have some fun. Computers are made available for children to use while receiving treatment at Albany Medical Center. Computers are located in the D7 playroom and Ronald McDonald house lounge.
