All in the family
At Children’s, we don’t just devote time to treating the patient—we also look after the family. The cornerstone of our approach is family-centered care that benefits everyone. You’ll have an opportunity to routinely discuss medical options and next steps with the care team. In fact, family members are considered an integral part of the decision-making team, along with the physicians, nurses and other staff.
Given our family-at-the-forefront emphasis, we offer many patient and family resources, from child life specialists to interpreter services.
