Arthur's Guide to Children's Hospital Boston has been created to help you and your child prepare for a visit to the hospital. The guide covers three types of visits:
Using the popular ARTHUR characters from the Marc Brown books and the PBS television series, the guide describes hospital experiences in simple terms. The goal of the guide is to answer some of your child's questions about coming to the hospital and to help prepare both you and your child for the visit. While many children will be able to surf this site independently, it is highly recommended that you and your child explore this guide together.
And here's a tip: Reading is a great way to familiarize children with new concepts. Check out our Recommended Books for some suggested reading that you and your child can enjoy together.
For information geared toward grown-ups, you can visit the main Children's Hospital Boston Web site. That's where you can find general information about the hospital (such as parking and directions), as well as a rich variety of resources about each department and specialty.
This site was produced by WGBH Interactive, the producers of the PBS Web sites for both ARTHUR and POSTCARDS FROM BUSTER.
