Help for Parents
Are there other parents I could talk to?
Yes. Parents Helping Parents is one our Quality of Life programs, matching families who have faced a similar experience. Learn from other parents how they handled what you are dealing with casting or bracing, surgery, or missed school days. If you are seeking advice, or willing to share your experience, let one of our staff know you would like to participate in the Parents Helping Parents program.
Do you offer housing for out-of-town families?Yes. At NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, we believe family participation is part of the healing process. See "Preparing for your Child's Surgery" regarding accommodations in the Hospital or neighboring hotels.
For families traveling to the area for an outpatient procedure or appointment, we may be able to match you with a host family. Parents Housing Parents is one of our Quality of Life programs matching host and visiting families in their time of need. If you are seeking a place to stay, or are willing to open your home to a family for one night prior to their appointment, let one of our staff know you would like to participate in our Parents Housing Parents program.
