Patient Care and Safety

At Valley Children’s, we prioritize your child’s health, safety and well-being. We believe that parents play a crucial role in ensuring a safe and healing environment for their children. Here’s how you can be actively involved in your child's care and help us maintain the highest standards of quality and patient safety.

• Your role in safety: Learn about how parents are a key member of their child’s healthcare team and what they can do to prevent infections, including practicing hand hygiene.
• Get to know your child’s care team: Learn about the different members of a child’s care team and how their roles support a child’s health and healing.
• Join the Patient Family Advisory Council: We partner with parents to improve all aspects of the patient experience and enhance our culture of safety and family-centered care.
• Know your rights: Explore policies that protect patient privacy and support patient and family rights when receiving healthcare. 

Involvement in your child's care

We value parents as an essential part of a child’s healthcare team and the experts in their child’s care. We invite you to be an active participant; never hesitate to ask questions about your child's treatment plan, medications, or any procedures. Our safety culture welcomes questions and focuses on building an environment where every team member is empowered to speak up about potential safety concerns. 

Thank you for being an essential part of your child's healthcare team. Together, we can ensure a safe, nurturing, and healing experience for your child.
