lolz, no. Not usually. But you can usually tell if someone wants to be alone(they stay in their room usually, too). But if you realized how boring it can get sometimes, patients are happy to relax and read a book with someone or play some games. Plus, the hospital atmosphere kind of takes away most people's barriers/social inhibitions.

Yes. When you're in long-term care, you get bored and lonely.

We can talk about it in the other thread, this thread is about the Hospital Helpers club.

I agree that a snappy title will probably contain alliteration...
What about Hospital Heroes? Health Care Heroes? Medical Martyrs?
Or you could go for something completely different, like "The Guardian Angels" (which I'm sure is taken, but just as an example).
What sort of name suits your tastes more?

I kinda like Hospital Heroes. I was thinking something something fun/playful. So medical martyrs def. doesn't fit  |

I got a good one:
Smiling Over Sickness. it sounds kinda cruel (like you're almost laughing at these sick people), but it could work.

hmmm
all i can come up with is a combo of hospital and helpers
which left me with 'Hoppers'.
Your logo for this could show the combination of both words, overlapping or something to get the point accross that hoppers is hospital+Helpers.
and it kindof implies that you hop around trying to make people happy.
ahha
sorry. sounded cool in my head but now. ahha

I did wish for something a bit more "out there" and yet representative, and that sticks in people's mind. Hospital heroes is a good baseline though. Thanks for the continuing help  |
