Last weekend, the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt held the third annual We Care for Kids Day at the corner of Blakemore Avenue and Natchez Trace on the VU campus. The event featured reunions of former patients as well as dozens of interactive and educational booths and play areas designed to provide messages about nutrition, music, physical activity, literacy, safety and health.
