Child Life Specialist
The Pediatric Care Center has a full-time Child Life Specialist on staff who focuses on the emotional and developmental needs of the children and their families. By using play and other forms of communication, the Child Life Specialist seeks to reduce the stress associated with the hospital experience and enables children and their families to cope in a positive manner. The Child Life Specialist works with every patient, every day, conducting therapeutic activities in either the playroom or the teen lounge, but also works one-on-one with children who must remain in their rooms.
