The scene was similar to any other prom you’d see at a local high school - smiling faces scattered around a dance floor with music pumping from the DJ’s speakers, a photo booth and refreshments. However, this prom was extra special, partially thanks to two attendees.
Kaiser Permanente hosted its second annual Pediatric Prom Night earlier this month for teenage patients who had missed or were going to miss their own prom due to their ongoing battles with cancer. Since these teens were unable to go to their dances, Kaiser Permanente figured the next best thing would be to bring the dance to them.
