Amenities For Kids & Families
You’ll appreciate the healing atmosphere and family-friendly touches of Cone Health’s children’s units. Rest assured that your child’s doctors use special pediatric equipment and that our beds are just the right size for kids’ bodies. You’ll also enjoy comfortable spaces and amenities such as:
