For children who are hospitalized, the experience can feel especially scary, filled with unknowns in an unfamiliar place. Thankfully, children’s hospitals have teams dedicated to making the experience the best it can be for the child and their family.
Experienced teams at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone are committed to personalizing the healthcare experience for every child and family. Sala Institute for Child and Family Centered Care is leading that mission at the children’s hospital, where the team offers support services and resilience programs, family partnership programs and safety and quality initiatives.
Jami Egorow, MS, CCLS, clinical manager for Child Life and Creative Arts Therapies from Sala Institute, is sharing how specialized programs like art, music, drama and animal-assisted therapy help “normalize” the hospital environment and create ways for children to continue growing, healing and developing — at the bedside and beyond.
