Missouri hospital will ring big billboard bell when a child finishes cancer treatment
When children finish chemotherapy treatment at a Missouri hospital, strangers will hear about it.
That’s because St. Louis Children’s Hospital installed a 12-foot bell Wednesday on a billboard over Interstate 44, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The bell even has speakers to magnify its clanging.
Every time a child finishes cancer treatment, staff will use an app on their phones to ring the bell. The Post-Dispatch reports it will ring approximately five to 10 times each month.
“Childhood wins another round against cancer,” the billboard says.
