Prioritizing Safety
Your child’s safety is always our top priority. Connecticut Children’s participates in the Standardized Care to Improve Outcomes in Pediatric Endstage Renal Disease (SCOPE) collaborative. SCOPE prevents infections in pediatric peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients using large-scale collaboration to identify and spread effective interventions across pediatric care settings. Patients at SCOPE centers have a reduced risk of infections, fewer hospitalizations, and maintain a normal school and family life.
Interactive Entertainment
When a patient comes to our Dialysis Center they will be greeted by a 6-foot-tall ultra HD interactive wall. During dialysis patients will be able to control the Apple TV and lighting in their private rooms with the iPads in each room.
