Sometimes the most powerful medicine is a mother.
t-s You’re the expert. No one knows your child better than you. T hat’s why we’ve
designed our Children’s Hospital to accommodate the needs of mothers and fathers.
For instance, parents can retreat to a “Quiet Room” for a much needed rest. Little things
like that matter. Studies have actually proven that with family involvement, children
recover more quickly from illness. But we didn’t need a study to tell us that. We see it
every day. t-s' For physician referral: 335-3500.
