At Atrium Health Navicent Beverly Knight Olson Children’s Hospital, we know that whether your child is having surgery, a medical procedure, or having a specialist appointment, it can be stressful for parents and extended family. Here are a few tips to help make you and your child’s stay comfortable.
When you arrive at the unit, you and your child will be welcomed and escorted to your room, where we will answer your questions. To help with registration when you arrive, please bring the following information with you:
To ease the transition, we encourage bringing some of the “comforts of home” into the hospital for you and your child. There are some items you are welcome to bring, but others that we ask you to leave at home. Please label all personal items brought into the hospital.
You can bring:
One parent or guardian is invited to stay overnight with patient at the bedside. Sleep chairs are available for your comfort.
If you’re traveling to us from a distance and you or a family member needs a place to stay, you have many options available. Our Public Relations office has information about available options. Please call 478-633-1353.
You may use the bathroom shower. If your child’s room does not have a shower, your child’s nurse can direct you to a shower near the unit.
