Newport Hospital Pediatric Services
Parent Guide

What should we bring to the hospital?

Many families choose to bring the following:

  • A bathrobe
  • Slippers
  • Toothbrush
  • Toothpaste
  • Pajamas (Hospital pajamas are available and must be worn on the day of most surgeries, but some children prefer to wear their own from home. )

Comforts

In addition, whether your child's visit is an expected or unexpected he/she may feel more at home with:

  • a few familiar toys
  • game books
  • a blanket
  • a picture of the family or pet

What to leave at home:

  • All valuables
  • Your child's home medications (The hospital's pharmacy will supply all medications while your child is in the hospital.)

Remember, if you have any questions concerning your child's hospitalization please feel free to ask your pediatrician or one of the pediatric nurses. For more information about pediatric services at Newport Hospital, please call 401-845-1710.
