A guiding philosophy of our child and family-centered care is at the core of the way patients are served at Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
 Every inpatient child has a private room and parents are encouraged to room-in at the medical center. Special couches convert to beds for parent sleeping. Kitchen and laundry facilities are also available to families on each inpatient floor.
Understanding the developmental and emotional needs of children guides the staff in the way they care for children. Child Life specialists on staff work to make the hospital experience understandable and therefore less threatening for the child.
Families are involved in all aspects of a child's care. In fact, a parent may accompany their child into the operating room and be present while anesthesia is administered. This helps greatly reduce a child's anxiety about being separated from a parent in an unfamiliar situation.
For the first time in Connecticut, all a child's medical needs may be met in one facility devoted exclusively to pediatrics. All the equipment is child-sized. All the staff specializes in children's health. Bright, colorful playrooms and waiting areas are stocked with toys and games.
A recent survey indicates that 9 out of 10 families who use Connecticut Children's Medical Center would recommend it to friends whose child needs hospitalization. Families from every city and town in the state have taken comfort in discovering that they no longer have to go outside Connecticut for specialized medical or surgical care for their child. It is available right here at Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
The slogan says it all: "Kids are great! We just make 'em better."
