Patient care
At Children’s Hospital, family-centered care is our culture. We believe families are an extension of the patient and partners in their child's care.
As Care Providers at Children’s Hospital, we are committed to:
- Providing the highest quality and safest care for your child;
- Promoting health, wellness, and prevention;
- Maintaining open and effective communication;
- Performing at the highest level of our capability;
- Treating your child as if he or she were our own;
- Focusing on meeting your child’s needs, as well as yours;
- Attending to fear, pain and discomfort;
- Increasing your confidence in the care we are providing; and
- Taking “ownership” and responsibility for both problems and solutions.
