HOSPITAL CARE
Each year over 3 million children are hospitalized in the United States. For some of these children and their families, a stay in the hospital is a planned event for a specialized test, surgical procedure, or ongoing treatment for a chronic illness. Many children are admitted to the hospital because of a sudden illness or injuries sustained in an accident or traumatic event. Whether planned or unplanned, a once in a lifetime experience or one in a series of encounters with the health care system, each hospitalization can have a major impact on the child and family. Listed below are resources to assist health care professionals in providing safe, family-centered hospital experiences of the highest quality to every child and family. General Resources
