We are pleased to announce that this year the collaboration between Image Regenerative Clinic and Theodora Foundation Onlus is even stronger. Every treatment performed at Image will contribute to bringing a smile to children hospitalized at Buzzi Hospital in Milan.
Image Regenerative Clinic supports Theodora Foundation Onlus annually by participating in the renowned Pic Nic fundraising events, organized in unique locations featuring creative workshops, shows, tournaments, and games where adults and children engage with families and friends for a special day of entertainment and smiles. The proceeds are donated to support children requiring long hospital stays. This year, Image has decided to enhance its collaboration with Theodora by donating a portion of each treatment's proceeds to the Foundation. Since 2000, Theodora Foundation Onlus has been supporting children hospitalized at Buzzi Hospital in Milan in the Pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery, and Orthopedics departments.
In Italy, Theodora Foundation Onlus began its activities in 1995: today it operates in 41 pediatric wards across 18 hospitals in 11 Italian cities with 32 Dream Doctors, bringing smiles to over 35,000 children annually. Theodora manages Dream Doctor selection, funds their initial training, update seminars, ongoing psychological counseling, and organizes their activities, ensuring high-quality visits. Dream Doctor visits are completely free for both hospital facilities and patients' families.
Dream Doctors are paid employees of the Foundation, which ensures compliance with rules, schedules, hygiene, privacy, and all other procedures required by each department.
To ensure high-quality visits, each Dream Doctor receives rigorous initial training and continuous education, along with periodic psychological supervision conducted by a therapist experienced in managing healthcare workers and burnout prevention.
