Our Work
As an Auxiliary of NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, Children of Bellevue supplements the medical care the hospital offers to patients. With specialist expertise in child development, Children of Bellevue program staff intercede with doctors and medical staff to help children and families understand what will happen during medical procedures and to distract children from their anxiety or discomfort so procedures can be performed quickly and efficiently. Program staff positively affirm parent-child bonding, play, and interactions that foster development, language skills, and loving care. Learn more about our programs by clicking on the links below.
