St. John's 40-bed Pediatric unit provides comprehensive care for sick infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. A multi-disciplinary team of board certified pediatricians and specialists, pediatric nurses, pharmacists, and nutritionists direct the care. Two Child-Life Specialists, who are certified teachers and counselors, help the patients keep up with their homework, enjoy playtime, and generally ease the stress and isolation that can result from a hospital stay. The inpatient unit has a playroom, library, a large collection of toys and video games, and state-of-the-art computers for both the structured and unstructured activities. The unit was recently redesigned to maintain as home-like an atmosphere as possible, with bright colors in a nautical theme, lively artwork, and specially decorated patient rooms.
