Things from home
What should we bring from home?
Please remember to bring the following information to Children's Hospital:
- Current health insurance information.
- A listing of medications that your child is currently taking.
- The name and phone number of your child's primary care doctor.
- Your child's vaccination record.
Familiar things can help a child who is in the hospital. Families are welcome to bring special toys, movies, photographs, posters, games, books or other items. Families are responsible for the items they bring from home.
Do I need to bring money with me to the hospital?
Children's Hospital has several areas where parents may purchase food and other necessities. No-fee automated teller machines (ATMs) are located on the lower level near the dining room entrance and in the skywalk near the deli.
What should be left at home?
The following items should be left at home:
- Toys with sharp edges.
- Small toys with parts that can be swallowed.
- Toys that make sparks.
- Latex balloons.
- Baby walkers.
- Electrical equipment.
Can I use my cell phone in the hospital?
Cell phones can interfere with the operation of medical equipment and must be turned off when in restricted areas. Even in standby mode, cell phones can transmit a signal. They are allowed anywhere on floors 5, 7 and 8. In addition, cell phones are allowed in the hospital lobby. In all other areas, please follow the signs or, if in doubt, ask a care provider where cell phones can be used safely.
