Social Work
Families often turn to the social services department for support in times of need. Social workers help find the resources families need so that they can concentrate their energy on their child and his treatment, not on other matters.
Family Resource Library
Children’s Health℠ focuses on a family-friendly environment to help make every child's stay as comfortable and convenient as possible. The libraries' goal is to provide an inviting place for patients and families to seek information about a diagnosis or treatment or to relax with leisure material.

Medical Records Request
Many records can be requested through MyChart at no charge. If you are not able to request copies of your child’s medical records through MyChart or do not have a MyChart account, you may submit a request in person, by mail, or fax. A copy fee may be applied for this type of request.

MyChart Guide
Children’s Health encourages our patient families to use MyChart, an online medical records system used by many major health care systems. MyChart provides a comprehensive digital dashboard of your child’s health care needs, allowing you to manage appointments, view medical records and test results, request medication refills, pay your bill and even submit a question for your doctor, all from the convenience of your personal computer or mobile device. MyChart can be accessed in English and Spanish, both online and via the free smartphone app.

Language and Interpreter Services
For families who do not speak English, talking to nurses and doctors about their child’s illness can be challenging – so we offer interpretation services free of charge. Please inform your caregiver if these services are needed.
