Patient and Family Involvement
We recognize that the parents/family are the constant in the child's life. Patients and families always come first on our Rehab Team. Patients and families are asked to identify their goals of rehab upon admission, as well as ongoing weekly goals towards discharge. Patients and families are involved in collaboration of their care and decision making throughout their rehab stay.

Sleeping Options
Visitation for parents is 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Extended family and friends are asked to visit during regular hospital visiting hours (see hospital resource section). One parent is able to sleep in the child's room. The Ronald McDonald house is located on campus and provides rooms for a donation of $10.00 a night.
