Television
Complimentary television is available at the bedside of our pediatric patients enabling them to watch their favorite programs. We offer something for everyone, including Nick Jr., Disney, CNN, ESPN, and Univision. A comprehensive channel listing can be found in the nightstand next to the bed.Through the Hospital's closed circuit television system, you and your child will be able to watch any performances taking place in the Wintergarden plaza or your child may attend the show if your doctor or nurse provides permission.
Movies-on-demand and internet-based video games are also available through your child's television. Games are also available on kiosks in the lobby, and in the Child Life Centers on 4, 5, and 6.
For safety reasons, families are not allowed to bring televisions from home.
Telephone
Local calls only can be made from room phones. For long distance and out-of-state calls, we recommend using a calling card or phone card. Cell phone use is allowed in the Hospital unless a sign is posted prohibiting this use. Pay phones are located on every floor of the Hospital. If you need a TDD (telephone device for the hearing impaired), please ask your social worker.In-house phones are located at the main entrance Reception Desk, in the Admitting Office, and on every floor.
