For children, the process of undergoing surgery is an unsettling and anxiety-filled endeavor.  Anxiety during anesthesia induction affects over 50% of pediatric patients.¹

Giving pediatric patients a safe, comfortable, and trusted hospital environment can have a positive impact on a child’s health and well-being and can lead to better healthcare outcomes. A positive healthcare experience benefits the patient, parents, and healthcare providers. When patients feel supported and empowered in their healthcare journey, they are more likely to participate actively in their care, follow treatment recommendations, and adhere to prescribed medications and lifestyle changes.²
