What to Expect of Your Visit with Us:
Registration:
As the elevator opens on the 4th floor, you will see two registration desks. You will proceed to the registration desk on your right. When registering you will be required to show your child’s Health Card and a Hospital Blue Card (if you have one). Following registration you will be asked to wait in the waiting room until a care provider comes to get you.
What should I bring?
- Child’s Health Card.
- Hospital Blue Card (if you have one from previous visits).
- Accurate list of the current medications your child is taking.
- Favourite blanket, stuffed toy or other object that may help to make your child feel comfortable.
- Cash for parking.
- Food (Your child’s meals will only be provided if your child is spending the day in the PMDU receiving treatment. There is a Tim Horton’s located close to the PMDU if you wish to purchase food).
- Diapers and any other personal care items.
Toys and Activities
The PMDU provides an excellent variety of toys and activities for all ages to enjoy while being cared for in the PMDU. If your child has a favourite activity or stuffed toy from home it may be helpful to bring this item along with you, as this can sometimes help your child feel more comfortable during this new experience.
Preparation for Tests and Procedures
A visit to the hospital or the experience of a test/procedure can create stress for some children. PMDU has a number of trained professionals ( Child Life, Art Therapy, and Therapeutic Clown) that specialize in working with children to empower them and make their experience less stressful.
