Our Child Life Specialists are professionally trained healthcare workers with degrees in Child Life, Child Development, Recreational Therapy or similar backrounds. They have extensive training to help children and their families understand and manage challenging life events and stressful healthcare experiences.
The Child Life Team collaborates with members of the medical interdisciplinary team to promote family-centered care and to advocate for each family's individual needs.
