Children’s Child-Centered Vision
By incorporating feedback from our families, we have developed our first child-centered vision, which looks at the hospital experience through a child's eyes. Healing a child's body, mind and spirit takes more than medicine: it takes a team to fulfill a family's dream.

My hospital is a bright and happy place that feels like home.
My providers, my family and I are a team, and everyone’s job is important.
The way my hospital works was built around me.
My providers don’t all look alike.
My hospital is my family’s connection to everything I need for my health, whether they provide it or blaze a trail to it.
