When your child requires hospitalization, rest assured that Bayhealth can accommodate the special needs of children.
Child Life Therapy
Departments at both Kent General and Milford Memorial Hospitals have playrooms. Our specially trained Child Life Therapists help ease concerns of children and their families and provide learning experiences through tours and activities. Our "sleeping-in" program allows one parent to stay the night with the child. Please call the Bayhealth Education Department at 1-877-453-7101 for more information on Child Life therapy.
