Family Centered Environment

One of the main goals is to make a child's hospital stay as comfortable as possible in an enviroment that is focused around the whole family.

Family-centered care recognized parents as partners with the healthcare team. A child's healthcare team could consists of physicians, nurses, therapists, technicians, chaplians, and social workers, just to name a few. A nursing staff experienced in the care of children oversees a plan of care and works with this healthcare team to coordinate services.

Our physical and social enviroments promote the health and development of children and the well-being of families. A private elevator to the hospital provides immediate access to services. Special lighting, soothing colors, fabrics and furniture help children feel at home. Many child-friendly features of the unit make the experience less stressful such as the colorful, hand-painted murals on  the rooms, a  playroom and  videoes, nintento games, and books to enjoy,  just to name a few.  Each room features accomodations for  a parent to stay overnight, a private bathroom, and television so the family can feel comfortable.
