Heart Institute at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC
The Heart Institute at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh partners with our Child Life Department in supporting the emotional needs of our patients and families.
If your child is having a cardiac procedure, cardiac surgery, or being admitted to our cardiac inpatient unit and is having concerns, or you are an adult who has children with concerns regarding your cardiac procedure, surgery, or admission, please ask about speaking with a Child Life Specialist.
It is our combined goal to maximize coping support and minimize concern. Please visit our Child Life webpage for more information about the support services offered in the Heart Institute.
