CityWorks Children's Hospital

CityWorks Children's  Hospital gives young learners the opportunity to explore medical situations and environments in a safe and friendly setting. Exploring the hospital exhibit helps demystify the equipment and procedures used by medical workers by showing medical professionals as people who care about us and help us heal.

What can you do in City Hospital?

• Climb into the ambulance to make an emergency call! Learn ways you can stabilize a patient as you transport them to City Hospital.
• Work at the hospital admissions desk to check in patients and fill out their medical charts!
• Put on a lab coat and you'll look the part when you try out the role of a doctor or nurse as you give your patient a physical.
• Rock a newborn baby in the nursery and learn how to dress, feed, and bathe a baby.  We have awesome baby dolls!
• Have a patient with a broken bone? It's off to the x-ray lab to take a picture of their injury.
• It's a dental emergency! Our resident purple-headed dental patient needs you to brush and floss his giant white teeth.

Parent Tips:

These are lots of ways to help your child play to learn in City Hospital. You'll find lab coats for both adults and children to help you get involved. Your kids will love it when you play the patient and they get to be the doctor!
