Hopkins Children’s offers a number of services to help patients and their families. These services are designed to help your child through a stay in the hospital or an outpatient visit.
While You Are Here
To help kids cope, the child development specialists in our Child Life division encourage them to engage in normal activities that can be a relief from the sometimes unpleasant aspects of health care. We also have a Patient/Family Library filled with resources for both parents and kids. Our division of Social Work works with families in need of their services. Patient Safety is an area of critical importance at Hopkins Children’s.
International
International patients can find information and resources through Johns Hopkins Medicine International, including translation. We also offer assistance in international adoptions.
