Welcome to Children's Hospital Boston. We are one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States.

Note to Parents: Your child is having a surgical procedure. Knowing what to expect can help relieve much of your anxiety. The following preparation slide show is intended to help you and your child become more familiar with the hospital. You may want to view it with your child. If your child asks questions that you cannot answer, you can call your child's doctor office, call the pre-op clinic or bring your questions with you. The staff will be happy to help.
