The Child Life / Child Development Program

The Child Life / Child Development Program was established in 1968 in recognition of the unique needs of pediatric patients, especially the critically and chronically ill.  The program was one of the first in the country and continues to be a model for other medical centers.  A commitment to continuity of care and a highly developed volunteer program are two facets that distinguish the program from others.

The program includes a professional staff with Bachelors or Masters Degrees in specific areas such as Child Life, Child Development or Education.  Most of the specialists are professionally certified and affiliated with the National Child Life Council.
