Pediatric Patients
All children under the age of seven require a parent or an adult designated by the parent to be in attendance with the child at all times during the hospital stay. A family member’s presence decreases the emotional stress of the child and helps with the recovery process. Parents and hospital staff work as a team to help the child to recover as quickly as possible and return to their home environment.
