Information Written by Families, for Families

Parent Toolkit brochuresDear Families,
 
We are parents of children who have received care from Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Through the years, we have each learned about the importance of building partnerships with our child’s health care providers. At Packard Children’s Hospital, you are encouraged to be an active and full member of your child’s health care team.
 
This series of “Family to Family” materials was created in partnership with Packard Children’s Hospital staff. Our goal is to share information, ideas and strategies about various aspects of the hospital experience that have worked well for our families. We hope that these brochures and handouts help you “navigate” the hospital and build partnerships with the Packard providers who care for you and your child.
 
From our family to yours,
The Parent Staff of the Family-Centered Care department
