Hospital Heroes

When Rugby the Teddy Bear is chewed up by his family's new puppy, he needs help from a big team of healthcare heroes. Find out what each hero does at Fuzzer's Hospital to help Rugby get home safe and healthy!



Our goal when creating Hospital Heroes: Rugby's Medical Adventure was to share about lesser-known medical professions in a fun and creative way. Rugby's story introduces little readers to professions such as: 



¿ Occupational Therapy (OT) 

¿ Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) 

¿ Dietetics 

¿ Respiratory Therapy (RT)

¿ Mental Health Counseling

¿ Physical Therapy (PT)

¿ Social Work



The book promotes LGBTQ+ positivity and diversity in healthcare. 



"You only aspire to what you've been exposed to. 

Sometimes we might self-eliminate just because we don't think we're qualified."

~ Charles Q. Brown Jr., Four-Star General 



It is extremely important for all children to see people who look like them represented as professionals with rewarding careers. We hope that by reading Hospital Heroes: Rugby's Medical Adventure, little ones will feel encouraged to step into a medical profession, realizing that by helping others, they too can become an invaluable healthcare hero.
