Crafting a meticulous emotional plan of care, aligning with the medical plan of care provided by doctors. This synergy ensures that our little warriors' emotional needs are met with precision and compassion.

Patients' educational needs are addressed seamlessly, both during their hospital stay and upon their return to school. Instruction can happen at the bedside or in our Hospital classroom, ensuring continuity in education.

Jenna Read introduces our remarkable team of Child Life specialists, who are not just experts but also compassionate companions for our young patients and their families. With specialized training in child development and stress management, they bridge the gap between the hospital environment and a child's world, making the experience comprehensible and less intimidating.

Angela Taylor, a parent who experienced the services firsthand, shares her heartfelt gratitude. She believes that without Child Life, navigating through extraordinary circumstances would have been immensely challenging. The team's dedication allowed her child to embrace the essence of childhood, even during tough times.
