The Hospital Experience

We have the same goal as the patient families who put their trust in us: to ensure that your child receives the absolute best care possible. Whether your child has yet to be born or is headed off to college, we aim for the best-case scenario for each of the more than 250,000 patients who come to us from the region and across the country.

Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect when you trust us with your child’s care.

Your Child’s Hospital Stay

If your child has to stay in the hospital, you'll probably have lots of questions — and that’s okay.

While every child’s inpatient experience is unique, here’s an idea of what to expect — and how to prepare for — your child's hospital stay at Children’s.

This includes help with understanding and paying medical bills, breaking down insurance information, and providing easy access to your child’s medical records.
