Mission and programs · 2023

• Family Center: The Patient and Family Support Center exists to support patients' families during their experience at University Children's Hospital. We provide a helping hand and a welcoming refuge in the most difficult times during the hospital stay. We are motivated to offer comprehensive, free and accessible support to all patients and their families during hospitalization based on the availability of funds. Our goal is to be a constant source of support and comfort, providing a more bearable and human experience amid adversity. The Patient and Family Help Center not only provides direct assistance to those in need, but also supports staff and residents, creating a more collaborative and empathetic environment at the Hospital. According to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in Puerto Rico, 55% of children live in poverty, so it is essential to eliminate the barriers that prevent families from thriving and children from reaching their full potential. Source: Youth Development Institute (2023). More than 50% of the patients served by the University Pediatric Hospital come from families facing severe economic challenges, affecting their ability to meet basic needs during their children's hospitalization. Our center is here to support these families by offering services and resources at no cost to alleviate the emotional and practical impact of hospitalization. All patients and their caregivers are welcome to use our services (based on the availability of resources). We seek to provide a place where they feel at home and provide support every step of the way.

• Child Life Program: The Child Life program plays a critical role in the mental health of pediatric patients and their families, providing emotional and psychological support in times of great vulnerability, such as hospitalization. Child Life Specialists are health care professionals trained to guide children and their caregivers through the challenges of a new diagnosis, chronic illness, or medical procedures. Through interventions such as medical play, preparation for medical procedures, and emotion management strategies, we help reduce anxiety and fear. Child Life is a program that is an integral part of pediatric health-care services in the United States, designed to address the emotional needs of pediatric patients and their families. We help children understand their illness, treatment, and hospital stay according to their developmental stage. Child Life specialists employ therapeutic techniques with patients of various ages, diagnoses, and abilities. Our holistic approach enhances the experience for pediatric patients and their families, which is essential to their recovery and well-being. We are the only Child Life program in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. We offer creative therapeutic services at no cost to support children and their families during their hospitalization. In addition to focusing on the child's emotional and psychological well-being, we also provide support to parents and caregivers, helping them manage their own fears and concerns. Allocation of payroll expenses related to this program amounts to $39,561 and direct program expenses amounts to $97,212.
