Child Life
Going to the hospital can be scary for children. Child Life specialists are available in the hospital to help your child or teen learn about the hospital, understand why they are there and to cope with their hospital stay.
Our social work staff is available to help patients and their families with social, emotional and financial issues related to an illness or injury.
NICU Family Host Program
Parents who have had personal experience in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit volunteer to support families with babies currently being cared for in the NICU.
Parents can help in many ways to improve how Children's Hospital cares for children and families. Whether your child has been hospitalized here or has been treated in our clinics, your insight is valuable.
