Presbyterian Healthcare 
Children & Adolescents
| We recognize the extraordinary circumstances involved in the care of infant, child and adolescent patients. There are certain rights and responsibilities that are unique to the parents or guardians of these patients. |
- The family/guardian of a child or adolescent patient generally has the right and responsibility to be involved in decisions about the care of the child. A child or adolescent has the right to have his or her wishes considered in the decision making as limited by law.
- A child or adolescent patient has the right to expect that care and the physical environment will be appropriate to his or her age, size and needs.
- A child or adolescent patient whose treatment requires a long absence from school has the right to educational services. These services will be arranged with the local school system.
