Pacific Pediatrics, a pediatric facility under the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic (YVFWC) in Woodburn, Oregon, was meticulously designed to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment for children, aiming to foster positive healthcare experiences that encourage lifelong wellness.

The clinic features an ocean-themed playground crafted by Soft Play, LLC, which includes a coral reef archway adorned with sea creatures, a submarine play structure, and various marine animal sculptures. Inside, the underwater motif continues with vibrant blues and greens, ceiling-hung sea creature decorations, and exam tables shaped like sea animals, all contributing to a fun and engaging atmosphere for young patients.

This thoughtful integration of play and thematic design not only makes medical visits less intimidating for children but also aligns with YVFWC’s vision that positive childhood experiences in healthcare settings can lead to healthier communities in the future. By providing an inviting and interactive space, Pacific Pediatrics aims to engage children actively in their health from an early age, promoting the development of lifelong healthy habits.
