While in the Hospital

We understand that staying in a hospital can be an overwhelming and scary. At Backus Children’s Hospital, we'll do everything we can to help you feel comfortable. We have playrooms for children who are well enough to visit them. We also offer video games and movies for children to enjoy in their rooms. And, we have a team of child life specialists who regularly play with the children, talk with them, and provide fun activities for them.

Any time you have a question or concern, do not hesitate to talk to your nurse or call 350-8581. Read more information to help you plan for your stay.
