QUALITY HEALTH CARE • There are so many people who take care of your child in the hospital. You have the right to know who they are and what they do. • You can expect to have your child cared for by doctors, nurses, and others who know how to care for children and youth. • You are an important member of your child’s health care team. You know your child best. The information you have is important.

We will tell you about people and places in your community that can help you. EMOTIONAL SUPPORT • When your child is in the hospital, you might feel afraid, angry, guilty, sad, lonely, or tired. You can talk with health professionals about your feelings, questions, problems, or concerns. They will listen to you and respect your feelings. • If you want help, you can decide whom you want to help you. • We can help you meet other families who have had experiences like yours. CARE THAT RESPECTS YOUR CHILD’S GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT We will consider all your child’s interests and needs, not just those related to illness or disability. Your child will be cared for by people who understand the needs and concerns of children and teenagers. We will try to keep your child’s schedule and activities as normal as possible. This includes uninterrupted sleep, quiet times, play times, school, and the comfort of family and friends. MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S CARE • You have the right to information you need to make decisions about your child’s care. • We will explain all options so that you can understand the risks and know what the choices are for your child’s care. • We will work in partnership with you to make decisions about your child’s care. • You may refuse treatments as permitted by law. • You may change your mind about care for your child even if you have already given permission. • You may ask to change hospitals. • If it is necessary to transfer your child to another hospital, we will make every effort not to move your child until you have been told why. 65 © Junior League Family Resource Center 2005
