Caring for "The Whole Child"
Floating is known as a pioneer in considering each child’s emotional as well as physical requirements. We were the first hospital in the country to allow parents to stay overnight with their sick children. That commitment to family continues today. Our child life specialists work with children and their families on maintaining normal routines as much as possible during treatments. The staff ensures that school assignments are completed, arranges private locations for family visits, and schedules therapeutic play. Other family-centered services include: in-room, overnight privileges for parents whenever possible; open visiting hours for parents and siblings; and support groups for parents and extended family members.
