Parental participation in the child's care is encouraged at Parkview to help minimize the stress of a hospital visit. One parent can sleep overnight in the child's room, which helps young children feel more comfortable and secure. Parkview also offers programs to prepare children for the possibility of hospitalization. Our more detailed pre-admission program is designed for the child scheduled to be a patient at Parkview. Specialized Nursing Care for Children Parkview nursing staff understands the specific needs of children and their families.
Nursing care is planned for children based on age, medical condition and individual needs.
The pediatric staff does more than serve the medical needs of the child. Our pediatric nurses discuss children's questions and fears honestly and at a level young patients can understand. Nurses also openly share information with parents and we welcome parent suggestions and involvement.
