Bethany Children’s Health Center strives to provide excellent care to the patients and families we serve. Families, patients, and the healthcare team work together to ensure their hospital experience is as positive, nurturing, and productive as possible.
It’s normal to have questions about how to prepare for your child’s stay, what to expect during your stay, and more. Your child will have a social worker dedicated to helping you and your family navigate the hospital and interact with the healthcare team.
