Child-Life-Services
Play and creativity meet caring and support
At Medlley Healthcare Center, child life specialists and creative arts therapists strive to create positive health care experiences for children, youths and families.
Families often have questions about how to make sure their kids feel ready for a procedure or a stay in the hospital. The mission of our Child Life Services department is to help children and other family members prepare for and cope with these experiences. Our team of certified child life specialists, music therapists, art therapists, educators and parent liaisons are trained in child and family development, and understand the specific needs of children, teens and families in the hospital. Through support, play and education, we collaborate with parents and other caregivers to ensure a friendly and comfortable medical environment for each child.

We provide a range of services to meet the individual needs of each family, including:

Oftentimes, going to the hospital is associated with fear, anxiety, and pain. The Child life team serves the needs of a diverse population of children from all developmental levels and medical diagnoses.
The Child Life team collaborates with the patient’s family, medical team, and other disciplines to help foster emotional safety and family-centered care. Our goal is to minimize the fear and anxiety most children experience in the medical setting. We promote positive experiences and effective coping techniques for our patients and their families.
