When Your Child is Hospitalized

When Your Child is Hospitalized
 
We understand that having a child in the hospital can be difficult emotionally as well as logistically. Juggling your child’s needs with the unavoidable daily demands of family, work and household can be challenging; especially when spending so much time away from home. To make your experience a little easier, we offer the following conveniences to parents of inpatients:
 
  • Nineteen private patient rooms with accommodations for one parent to stay the night, and unlimited visiting hours for both parents.
  • Complimentary continental breakfast every morning on the unit.
  • Lunch and dinner selections from a guest menu, with meals delivered to your child’s room. Prices may vary and discounts may be available.
  • Use of the telephone in your child’s room for local and operator assisted calls.
  • A resource room is available and located within the SkyLight Waiting Center on the second floor. Limited use of a fax machine and internet access are available.
  • A gift shop in the hospital lobby for purchase of personal items.

To accommodate parents of inpatients and outpatients, we offer the following conveniences:
 
  • The hospital cafeteria is located on the ground floor and offers hot meals, deli sandwiches, grill service, a full salad bar, soups, beverages and desserts. For your convenience, disposable plates, plastic ware and cups are available for take-out service.
  • James Street Café, located on the first level of the hospital, which offers a variety of gourmet salads, sandwiches, soups, coffees, beverages and desserts. The Café is open Monday-Friday for breakfast and lunch.
  • The Skylight Café on the second floor features Starbucks Coffee and assorted snacks. There is also a vending area located on the ground floor near the gift shop.
