For Patients & Families

Almost any visit to a hospital for a child is difficult. At All Children's Hospital we have gone out of our way to make the experience as easy as possible, and to remove as much anxiety from every child's visit as we can. With that in mind, we offer these answers common questions and resources for preparing you and your child for your visit.

Your Child's Visit

In the Your Child's Visit section there are a variety of resources designed to help you and your child prepare for your visit to All Children's Hospital. We have online photo tours for children being treated on an inpatient (Kids' Hospital Tour) or outpatient (Short Stay Unit Tour) basis.

There are great resources for parents as well:

• The Inpatient Guide has a wealth of practical information that will help you when you're here for an inpatient stay.
• Articles about how to prepare your infant, 2-5 Year old, 6-11 year old, or 12-18 year old for a stay at All Children's Hospital
• The Same Day Surgery page has an excellent section of information for parents of children visiting our Short Stay Unit.
