Your Child’s Equipment

When coming to the hospital for surgery, we want to make sure your child has everything he or she needs. If your child uses any equipment at home to move around, it will be very important to bring the equipment with you to the hospital. 

Equipment may include:

• Wheelchair
• Orthotics/Bracing
• Walker or Crutches
• Hand splints

Bringing this equipment with you will help the physical and occupational therapy teams best help your child.

We look forward to partnering with you in your child’s care.

If you have any questions, please ask a member of the team. We would be happy to help you.
