We're all about children!
PCICU Family Information: Atrium Policies

The Atrium is designed to meet the play and activity needs of patients and their families during hospitalization. We recognize that a hospital stay can be stressful and upsetting. The opportunity to play is normal, familiar and comforting. Play and activities can assist children and families to cope positively with the hospital experience. The atrium is designed as a "safe place" where medical treatment and procedures do not take place.

Atrium Policies
  • Patients and visitors to the Atrium must sign in at the desk.
  • Patients under the age of six must be supervised by an adult. All patients under the age of 18 require an adult escort to and from the Atrium
  • The Atrium is for the pediatric patients and their families. Brothers and sisters may visit the Atrium if accompanied by an adult. Individual play sessions for brothers and sisters may be arranged with a child life specialist.
  • There are no medical exams, treatments, or medications allowed in the Atrium.
  • There are no foods, drinks, or balloons allowed in the Atrium.
