At Glens Falls Hospital, we recognize a hospital stay can be scary — especially for children. That’s why we continue to offer a dedicated pediatric unit exclusively for children from newborn to 18 years of age. Our newly renovated unit, dubbed The Kids Cove, includes 11 private rooms and a playroom. A central nurse station provides better visibility for patient monitoring and more peace of mind for parents. This bright and colorful setting features an ocean theme with tropical fish wallpaper borders in each patient room, floor tile patterns resembling ocean waves and even fish and star ceiling tiles.

The unit also features a special “Ouch Room” in which all treatments, such as IV hookups and dressing changes are performed. The “Ouch Room” is provided so pediatric patients are able to associate their hospital room with rest and relaxation, rather than with medical procedures.

Our pediatric program also includes “Bearly Ill,” a day care program for children who are unable to attend school or conventional day care due to minor illness.

To help children learn more about our Hospital, our pediatric nurses offer special school tours for first graders from across our region. Tours include a visit to an operating room and the opportunity to see some of the technologies and meet some of the people who would care for them during a visit to the Hospital.
