About Our Location
At University of Vermont Health - Golisano Children's Hospital, we deliver anesthesia care for children of all ages who undergo a wide range of surgeries and procedures. Our anesthesia team works with Child Life specialists and specialized nurses in the Comfort Zone to provide safe sedation and alleviate pain for young children and infants in a family-friendly environment.
Infants and children who are in need of radiology exams and other services are treated here in the Comfort Zone. There are times when a child may be moved to other areas of the hospital for a specific procedure, such as MRI, CT or endoscopy, but many procedures are able to be performed within the setting of the Comfort Zone.
Our Facilities Include:
Our space is decorated with bright colors and murals, with a wide variety of age-appropriate toys and games for children, televisions in the exam rooms and a waiting area where children and their families can relax. The Comfort Zone is adjacent to procedure rooms where most pediatric procedures take place.
The unique space allows families to stay together and staff members to escort family members in and out of procedure rooms. The space also has a circular traffic flow, where children end where they began, allowing patients and their families a familiar and appropriate place to reunite.
How We Prepare Your Child for IV & MRI
Our Child Life specialists help walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have about your child's IV and MRI.
