Elmhurst Outpatient Surgery Center was designed to accommodate the special needs of our pediatric patients. The Center has a highly qualified nursing staff, and the
	anesthesia team has extensive
training and experience with children. We invite you to tour the Center and ask any questions you may have prior to your child's procedure.

 We encourage children to bring a favorite toy or blanket with them. A parent or guardian is required to stay with the child during the pre-operative and post-operative processes, and must remain in the building during the child's surgical procedure. Parents of small children should bring childcare items such as diapers, bottles, and extra underclothes, and legal guardians must bring proof of guardianship.
