SUNNYSIDE -- Nurses at Sunnyside Community Hospital plan to take care of all kinds of injuries on Tuesday, even those that require imagination.

A group of nurses plans to help perform minor "surgery" on ripped, torn or broken dolls and stuffed animals from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesday in the hospital classroom, as part way to honor Perioperative Nurses Week.

Nurses will help children stuff and sew up the animals or dolls and send them home with discharge instructions.

They call the program "Forever Friends on the Mend."
