Get In the Pink with Bedside Healers! In Case Blue is Just NOT Your Color...Says Peachy Deegan!

Earlier today we told you about the amazingly lovably, cuddly Bedside Healers.  If you think blue may not be your color when you are feeling that way, know that they can also put you IN THE PINK.  A unique and easy way for someone to always have their friend with them attached to their hospital bed rail, on their wrist, an IV pole, or wherever they need it to be.  Ideally, you want to surround yourself with as many of these as you can and name them all, and no attendant, nurse or doctor will say they are in the way because they intelligently strap to your bed through a loop in the back.  We bet if you ask them they will go pick up takeout for you so you can avoid hospital food!  Patients in Michigan, Tennessee, Nevada, Florida and North Carolina have all received Bedside Healer Donations in 2013, thanks to Jason Peach, the inventor and owner of Bedside Healers™.   You don't need to be sick to enjoy them; they work quite well on a canopy bed and maybe even prevent sickness!

Bedside Healers is the brainchild of Fraser High School teacher Jason Peach.   Really, that's his name we didn't base this on his last name alone.  Clearly, he's got a PEACHY idea.  These stuffed animals come equipped with an innovative design that allows patients to attach them to bed rails, IV posts, walkers, etc. They include the Heart Nosed Puppy, The Golden Lab and the Black Bear. They also offer Bedside Healers for newborns. They come with a shirt that has the saying, “It’s a Boy” or “It’s a Girl” on the front.

Peach opened his business a mere 17 months ago, and has already donated more than 1500 bears to hospitals in the USA. His success earned him the Ferndale Area Chamber of Commerce’s New Business of the Year 2012.   Peach hopes to double the number of donations in 2014 and has other goals for the company as well. “Right now, people can go online and order our bears to be sent anywhere across the country. In July, patients will also be able to share their experiences. We hope that this new format will become a resource for people to share stories of hope and inspiration,” said Peach.
