07/28/09

  Miss America Katie Stam visited Virtua Voorhees pediatric patients, participating in arts and crafts and accepting a challenge to fish and bowl on the Wii video game system. Later, she met with hospital administrators and staff for a discussion on Virtua programs relating to her platform, as well as a video overview of the Virtua replacement hospital under construction.
Miss Stam was crowned in Las Vegas this past January. She is studying communications with an emphasis in electronic media at the University of Indianapolis. She hopes one day to become a television news reporter and anchor.
  As part of Miss Stam’s duties during her reign, she finds the opportunity to visit hospitals’ pediatric areas and enjoys bringing smiles to the children’s faces. She also speaks to older children about the importance of community service and involvement.
