And pediatric surgeons and neurosurgeons are close by. Caring for children is very different from caring for adults. Their internal organs are more vulnerable. That's why our sophisticated medical equipment has been customized and sized to the very special needs of children, both in the hospital and during transport. And our staff is highly trained to handle the unique physical and emotional needs of children.
Children also have different emotional needs than adults.
While they're in the hospital, they need the closeness of family more than ever. Families are always welcome, no matter what the hour. Special in-room sleep chairs let parents stay by their child's side day and night. Located in north Tacoma, Mary Bridge Children's Hospital takes care of children from Port Townsend to Chehalis, from Ocean Shores to Enumclaw. Not just because we are the closest dedicated children's hospital, but also we have the experienced staff and advanced trauma capabilities to provide the highest level of care in our vast service area.
