Kindergarten Tours

A hospital visit can be especially traumatic for a child who has no previous experience with the hospital, sometimes fueling a lifetime of health care fear and avoidance. At St.Vincent Clay Hospital, educational tours are given to over 300 kindergarteners each year to help children develop healthy attitudes about health care.

What the Tour Offers

• The tour gives children an up close and personal look at laboratory, radiology, emergency department and dietary services
• In the laboratory, the children get to see cultures under a microscope

The tour ensures that children will feel more at ease in the hospital environment whether as a visitor or patient and avoid the anxiety and fear that can interfere with healing and recovery.
