Children's Hospital Dietitian Children's Hospital has a registered dietitian to care for your child's special dietary needs. The dietitian will consult with you if a special diet is medically necessary to answer any questions you might have. A parent picnic will be delivered every day with your child's lunch. This is a complimentary service we hope will make your visit more comfortable. The menu varies daily, and includes hot meals, sandwiches and a salad bar.
Snacks also are available at vending machines throughout the hospital.
The staff of Children's Hospital recognizes hospitalization can be a difficult experience for your child and your family.

Child Life activities are available for children of all ages. Our child life specialists provide a variety of entertaining and therapeutic activities for children, including crafts, stories, movies, bingo and special events. The Children's West playroom is stocked with toys, games and books, and features activities geared to patients up to five years of age.
