Patient and Family-Centered Care

Patient and Family-Centered Care Principles
We are proud to provide patient and family-centered care. This means that the health care team works with your child and your family members to plan, deliver, and evaluate your child's care.

You and your child can expect to receive care based on the principles of patient- and family-centered care:

• Dignity and Respect: We will listen to and honor the perspectives and choices of your child and family.  We will incorporate your family's knowledge, values, beliefs, and cultural background into your care.
• Information Sharing: We will share complete and unbiased information with your child and your family.  We will give you timely, complete, and accurate information so you can help make decisions about your child's care.
• Participation: We will support you to participate in your child's care and decision making at the level you choose.
• Collaboration: We encourage you to work with us to continuously improve the way we care for children.
