How to share a complaint or suggestion
The Children’s Hospital has a team of care and service providers who are dedicated to your child’s well-being.
If you have a complaint about the care you or your child receives, it’s best to voice your concern with the respective doctor, nurse, or social worker present.
If you prefer not to speak directly to the care provider, our Patient Relations staff will work with you to address the issue.
