This is not true because children go through many stages of growth and development. That means their medical care needs to be different. Children's is staffed and equipped to meet the special needs of developing bodies, including equipment sized for children, from newborns to teens. Cheerful rooms and bright play areas are more than an extra in children's hospitals. Because accurate results from tests and exams depend on relaxed, cooperative children.
Medical procedures can be very scary for children.
Children's understands this and provides a setting that is child-friendly. Children's provides an extensive array of child health and family education services. Toys and puppets are often used to help children understand what is happening to them. However, you should be aware that some plans provide only limited access to specialized care for your child. In choosing a health care plan, you should look for ones that allow your family to use all the services of Children's, not just hospitalization.
