What to ask during your child's stay.

A hospital stay can bring up many questions.

Don’t be afraid to ask the questions on your mind, because questions lead to conversations, and conversations help us to better understand how your child is feeling. That’s how we can ensure everyone’s needs are met, and how to best treat and care for you, your child, and your family in the most personal way.

Please feel comfortable asking any number of questions and use this guide to trigger new questions.
