Helping Children, Families, and Providers

  • Children - Reducing pediatric pain and anxiety during stressful or painful experiences encountered with medical care is a top priority. The use of additional support and distraction techniques has proven to significantly improve outcomes and reduce anxiety for future medical experiences. We utilize a variety of distraction techniques such as blowing bubbles, reading books, playing with toys, singing, playing interactive games, and the use of Virtual Reality (VR). 
  • Families - When your child needs services at the hospital,  it can feel overwhelming.  We are committed to provide a child-friendly hospital experience through support, engagement, and distraction therapies for added comfort.
  • Providers - The Pediatric Care Coordinator works to facilitate support to physicians and clinical staff as a liaison to children and their families. Providers can be assured that their pediatric patients are receiving the highest level of expertise and support available when utilizing this service at Pullman Regional Hospital.
