Young people are special, and so are the care and attention that they need when they are hospitalized. Cabell Huntington's Pediatrics Unit is designed to meet those special needs through its medical and surgical care just for children.
The unit has 26 beds and a specially trained staff. Three hospitalists are a welcome addition to the unit, and board-certified pediatricians work closely with other pediatricians, specialists and subspecialists to provide the best care possible for their patients. A primary focus of the unit is family-centered care. Parents are welcome to stay with their child, and families are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the child's care. This helps the family understand more about the child’s condition and feel comfortable providing any necessary care at home after discharge.
The unit includes a playroom with toys for small children. Tutoring is available to help children keep up with their schoolwork during a hospital stay. Special attention is always given to the emotional and developmental needs of these young patients and their families.
