When a child is ill, the entire family is affected. At the Center we recognize how difficult hospitalization can be. 24-hour visiting is permitted. Sleeping facilities are available for parents. The family has full access to on-site psychiatrists, social workers and chaplains.
Parking is available at the hospital.
When the referring physician calls, the Fellow provides management suggestions, if appropriate, and will advise on the next steps involved in the child's transfer process. In most cases, the Critical Care Transport Team will be dispatched immediately. Each child will be transferred by the Center's expert Critical Care Transport Team. Composed of Fellows in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine and Pediatric Paramedics, this team will determine the best, and safest, mode of transfer, by ground or helicopter. The referring physician's involvement with the child doesn't end with transfer to the Pediatric Critical Care Center.
