Pediatric Center
The Pediatric Unit is a secured unit in the Main Tower. Parents are a key part of our team and it is important that you are involved in your child's plan of care. We encourage you to stay as much as possible. If you are unable to stay, please inform the staff. One parent may stay overnight and sleeping accommodations will be provided. Complementary guest trays are provided for each meal.
Visiting hours are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., with the exception of parents or guardians, who may visit 24 hours a day. Siblings may visit only if they have no fever and no communicable diseases. Visitors are limited to two (2) at a time.
