Plenty of Room

Our spacious, colorful rooms are big enough to accommodate families, many of whom “move in” with us while their child is hospitalized. A sofa-sleeper in each room allows a parent or caregiver to spend the night alongside their child.

Salon care

Our Positive Image Center allows children to ease anxiety during their stay. Salon services include haircuts and styles, temporary hair coloring, hair sparkles and feathers, wig fitting and application, nail painting and make-up application.

Visitors

Up to two primary support persons are allowed with a child either in the hospital or for clinic visit. No siblings or other visitors are currently allowed due to COVID-19. A patient’s care team may make compassionate exceptions when appropriate. 

Care for siblings

Unfortunately, our sibling care service – normally available to siblings of patients ages 3-12 – is currently closed due to COVID-19. We look forward to resuming this service.
