## Child Life Services

The pediatric ED offers a Child Life Program, which strives to achieve a standard of pain-free pediatric care. Fun, child-oriented activities provide patients with a variety of distraction and coping techniques for procedures and treatments. Play provides children with a safe outlet for anxiety, sadness, and other emotions that may accompany a visit to the Emergency Department.
