Nurturing care, before and after surgery

Preparing for Your Child’s Surgery

We understand that kids and their parents may come with concerns about their hospital stay. We’re here to understand your needs and theirs, and support you every step of the way. With our inclusive, family-centered approach to care, you are an important part of the team, along with our top doctors and exceptional nurses and staff.

Thank you for choosing us to take care of your child. Below you will find an outline of what to expect before, during and after your child’s surgery. There is also a description of actions that Packard Children’s has taken to keep you and your child safe during COVID-19.
