Memorial HealthWorks! Kids' Museum

Beacon Community Health is proud to partner with area South Bend elementary schools to share Stress Happens: You Got This! digital curriculum. Together, with teachers, parents and students, the topic of stress is being explored and stress management and coping skills are being learned. The more we understand about stress, the better equipped we all are to help ourselves help our kids. Together, We GOT This!

Today we had our last field trip ever come to HealthWorks! Bubbles, costumes, a loud grand entrance and FUN were the main things these first graders got to experience today. Thank you for the wonderful day & all of the memories from the past! 🌴 🕶 🌸 @ Memorial HealthWorks! Kids' Museum

We are thankful for the beautiful day yesterday that made the NICU Reunion so fun! Three of our captains thoroughly enjoyed the tattoo station with unicorns 🦄 and dinosaurs 🦖 🦕

HealthWorks! Kids' Museum plans to expand into digital formats and classrooms.

The current site at 111 W. Jefferson Blvd. will close as of Sept. 30, 2018, although most exhibits from the museum floor will live on as part of ETHOS Innovation Center at 1025 N. Michigan Street in Elkhart.

Beacon HealthWorks! offerings will expand into the classroom throughout Elkhart, Marshall and St. Joseph counties and beyond, and will include a new digital learning platform.

With similar goals to help children live their healthiest, happiest life, ETHOS will share the exhibits as part of their expansive learning opportunities. Science, technology, engineering and math-related field trips are available for schools through ETHOS.
