Richard Cornish provides a breath of fresh 'hair' for patients who are used to hospital visits and doctor's appointments.
"I love what I do," said Richard Cornish. "I've been at the same salon since I was 18 years old."
"I started doing hair on a volunteer basis at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia," he said. "And now, I have my own nonprofit, Restore Salon Services, and we provide salon services to children and their family members who are displaced due to their illness." Stefanie Hower, a patient from Danville, PA, had been eagerly awaiting the day she could have her hair done by Cornish.
"I am here because I had to get fetal surgery," she said. "My baby, that we're naming Liam, they discovered he has spina bifida. But he is looking really good so far."Through all the doctor's visits and hospital stays, moms like Hower could use a respite every once in a while. That's where Restore Salon Services comes in.
