Few events are as stressful for a child as being admitted to the hospital. Many child enter the hospital feeling afraid and apprehensive because of the unfamiliar environment, pain or discomfort and separation from parents and family.
If your child is having a scheduled admission to the hospital for surgery we recommend arranging for a tour for your family. Our experience has shown that a child adjusts better to the hospital if they have toured the unit and met the staff prior to admission. Call 405-949-4101 to arrange a tour.
