Trillium Health Partners offers an array inpatient and outpatient paediatric services at our Mississauga and Credit Valley locations, including cancer care, diabetes management, mental health services, surgery and more for paediatric patients from birth to 19 years of age.
Both sites have inpatient care units for children and youth who need to stay at the hospital for treatment. These units are staffed by doctors, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, a social worker, psychologist and other team members. They work in partnership with the family to coordinate their services to provide care.
These units offer the services of a Child Life Specialist who strives to promote the optimum development of children, adolescents and families, to maintain normal living patterns and to minimize psychological trauma while in hospital.
Both paediatric inpatient units feature activity rooms and have daybeds in each patient room so that a parent can stay overnight with their child. Each room includes a daybed to accommodate one parent to stay overnight for each patient.
Due to the high incidence of infectious disease in children, patients requiring isolation often occupy the private rooms. However, every effort is made to accommodate patient requests.
