Caring for the Whole Child
Families who navigate illness and injury need more than medical treatment to heal. Our Child Life and Integrative Care Services team provides comfort, support and therapeutic interventions for patients and families throughout their journey.
The wonderful experience in the hospital has left a lasting impression on us. Rachel and I are truly thankful for everything the Child Life team has done for Jack and us throughout this journey.
― Brandon, Jack's Dad
