Child Life Program

Every single child is unique. And, when facing a medical experience, every child and their family will have different needs. Our Child Life Program is dedicated to helping each child have the best healthcare experience possible through education, play and personalized support.

Play is an important part of children’s lives — it’s how they learn about the world around them. During times of stress, such as hospitalization, play and learning can provide a safe and familiar outlet for a child’s or teen’s emotions and fears.

Our certified Child Life Specialists have received specific training on ways to 
help children and teens have positive healthcare experiences.  They focus on providing individualized care — including play and learning — based on each child’s age, development, background, temperament and past medical experiences.
