At Legacy Products, Inc., our true legacy is that we never stop listening to the most important question of all, ”Is there a better way?”

As the founders of Legacy Products, we are sisters, mothers and grandmothers. Several years ago, our family went through something that many people experience, but everyone hopes will never happen to them. Our family suffered fear and uncertainty in trying to understand and accept the invasive treatments and special care that one of our loved ones was about to need.

The 18-month old son of one of our daughters had just been diagnosed with a malignant tumor.

We asked ourselves these questions:

Isn't there a better way?

Could our child and family experience this without fear?

Could the whole process be made easier, and perhaps, even comforting?

In short, is there a gentler, more understanding, more compassionate, and more effective way to accomplish this?

We discovered we weren't the only ones asking these questions.

At the conference and in subsequent meetings we were told there was a vital need for someone to develop a doll that could be used to teach sick children and their families, about their illness, treatment and continuing management.

We listened as a floodgate of questions poured out.

Every one of our products is an answer to a request from the dozens of educators and health care professionals we've met. The questions keep coming. And we continually partner with health care specialists to develop all the clinical and psycho-social elements needed to create outstanding instructional tools.

MediKin™ teaching models are far more than dolls. They are created one at a time in the U.S.A. and are constructed for many years of service. Every aspect reflects the expert input of knowledgeable educators and caregivers.

But most important, MediKin™ teaching models are active participants in instructional programs. They show emotions, reflect the demographics of the audience, display all the appropriate body parts, and go through the entire experience that is being explained. And never once complain!

Our customers often tell us they would never want go into a teaching situation without one. Their questions keep coming. We keep listening.

Is there a better way? Always.
