Family-Centered Care
Our goal is to help children feel comfortable while in the hospital. We involve the entire family — the people who play the most important role in a child's life. Parental participation in the child's care helps minimize the stress of a hospital visit. Parents can sleep overnight in the child's room, which helps young children feel more comfortable and secure.
We do our best to facilitate parent cooperation at al levels. We honor the racial, ethnic, cultural and socio-economic diversity of families.
Parkview offers programs to prepare children for the possibility of hospitalization. A hospital-focused informational program helps prepare preschool and kindergarten classes. We also offer a more detailed preadmission program designed for the child scheduled to be a patient at Parkview.
