Family Centered Care Approach

At Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach we're dedicated to providing the highest quality care and safety for every child who enters the hospital with a patient and family centered care approach. Miller Children's understands that parents and families are a key component to a child's recovery. An individualized care plan is developed to meet the needs of each patient that includes parent and family education and emotional support.

We know that you will have many questions. Please do not hesitate to ask about anything. It is much better to ask a question than to worry. We respect your beliefs and culture and believe you should receive information about your child and their treatment. Everyone caring for you and your child wants to help you understand and cope with your child’s hospitalization.

Miller Children’s Hospital Long Beach also has several parent resources available to help your family through your child’s hospitalization. Our team will always work to identify stressors and suggest coping mechanisms to help patients and their families deal with the hospitalization.

• Child Life Program/Sibling Support
• Family Resource Centers (Bilingual-Espanol)
• Interpreter Services
• Medical Social Work
