P.D.’s NEST Program

The Pediatric Developmental Needs Evaluation and Surgery Teaching program helps reduce children’s fears of surgery and tests, making the hospital experience a more positive one. Children are prepared for surgical and diagnostic procedures through medical play and education with the help of certified child life specialists and staff nurses. The staff provides whatever these patients need to have a positive and comfortable hospital experience – preprocedure education, medical play, play therapy, simple distractions or patient and family support. Plus, parents have the opportunity to finalize any paperwork and take care of any presurgery evaluations.
