"Because Children are Special...
...they deserve the best possible health care given in a
positive, child/family centered atmosphere of friendliness,
cooperation, and support - regardless of race, religion, or
ability to pay."
...their medical needs are closely related to their
emotional and informational needs; therefore, the total
child must be considered in treating any illness or
injury."
...their health care requires family involvement, special
understanding, special equipment, and specially trained
personnel who recognize that children are not miniature
adults."
...their health care can best be provided by a facility with
a well trained medical and hospital staff whose only
interests and concerns are with the total health and
well-being of infants, children, and adolescents."
