ABOUT
The WeGo Foundation engages pediatric patients at hospitals across the country with telepresence robots to provide virtual tours of attractions, allowing children and their families to seek both educational enrichment and safe “escape” from the hospital. Watch a video example of kid patients “visiting” and connecting with people and animals at the Baltimore Aquarium.
