They're easy to talk to, and good at helping kids and their families adjust to unfamiliar routines and surroundings. Although the Pediatric unit is on the fourth floor, our staff cares for junior patients throughout the hospital. We help out in the Emergency Department, Lab and X-ray departments, Same Day Surgery and all the other places where children are cared for. Experts tell us art is therapeutic. Our junior patients tell us the murals and decorations in our pediatric rooms are cool.
Kids enter imaginary worlds that include a jungle, tree house, circus, fairy tales and a toy store.
Other room themes are the beach, crayons, sports, a farm and fish. A video game system and games are available on request. Rev. Jim's hospital ID badge says he's the Curious George Chaplain, BroMenn's official Get Well Ambassador. A child's hospital stay can be stressful for everyone in the family. We provide recliners or cots for sleeping, and encourage parents to be with their child as much as possible.
