Our Philosophy

Because Children are Special…

• They deserve the best possible health care given in a positive, child/family-centered atmosphere of friendliness, cooperation, and support regardless of race, religion, or ability to pay.
• Their medical needs are closely related to their emotional and informational needs; therefore, the total child must be considered in treating any illness or injury.
• Their health care requires family involvement, special understanding, special equipment, and specially trained personnel who recognize that children are not miniature adults.
• Their health care can best be provided by a facility with a well-trained medical and hospital staff whose only interests and concerns are the total health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents.
