AnMed Health Women's and Children's
Hospital provides a healing environment for kids and their
families. Care for and about children starts here.
Everything in
our pediatric unit - from the color of the hallways to the couches in
patient rooms - is designed with children in mind. Each room has a
sleeping surface for a mom or dad, and rocking chairs are available for
parents with infants. Internet access also is provided in patient rooms
for patients who want to bring a laptop from home.
A playroom with
games, books and video games is located on the pediatric unit for patients
who are not in isolation. For our older patients, we have an adolescent
room equipped with a television computer and lounge chairs. Video games
and DVDs also can be delivered to patient rooms. Family and
friends outside the hospital may call directly to patient rooms by dialing
512 plus the four-digit room number. Incoming telephone calls to patient
rooms are not allowed after 10 p.m. Telephones for the hearing impaired
are available upon request. For the safety and protection of our
patients, we ask that visitors wash their hands when entering a patient's
room and after handling other children. Parents should check with the
nurse before giving any food, drink, candy or gum to a patient. Also,
please note that AnMed Health only allows Mylar balloons inside the
hospital.
