Organization Details:

Serving pediatric patients from around the world, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian provides comprehensive care—from diagnosis to recovery—in general pediatrics and in the full range of medical and surgical sub-specialties. Our experienced and skilled physicians, surgeons, nurses and other healthcare professionals manage routine and complex medical conditions, as well as address the psychological and family issues that accompany childhood illness.

Description and/or History:
Our expertise is complemented by specialized programs and services such as parent–to–parent supports groups in which parents and family members can discuss mutual concerns and share resource information, and child life programs, which create an environment designed to ease children's fears and provide the important emotional and social care to make the hospital experience as pleasant as possible for both the child and the family. The Pastoral Care Program provides chaplains of all faiths to minister to patients and their loved ones.
