Hi Carla,

Thank you!

Carol

information about Boston Children's hospital.

FYI 

Recently, I received this description for the Boston Children's site in Peabody.  It is an option we should consider especially for those children that struggle with going to the doctors or those parents need more support with the child.

 

 

Boston Children’s at Peabody is located at 10 Centennial Drive.  They offer specialty services Monday through Friday, (other than psychiatric).  They offer a lab, radiology services and have a full-time social worker on site to support families.  Boston Children’s Hospital is currently engaging in community outreach so they can help connect their families to appropriate resources/other providers and also to be a resource for our community.

 

The Patient Support Team consists of a Social worker, Child life specialist, nursing and scheduling.  Their goal is to help families decrease the stress level of the child and family so that they can access medical services. They offer sensory toys, tools and an adaptive environment which sometimes includes making it look like a non-medical facility.  They strategize creative ways to help the child over-come their fears, and will even assist with transitioning a child from the car to the waiting room if needed. The team creates a visit plan of care with the family to address the specific needs of the patient, which lives in their file and is accessible by all staff who may work with them. 

 

The front desk is involved also as they are the point person when the family enters. The Social worker will contact the family to find out what works best for them and their child’s needs, and then they communicate and prepare staff of the plan.  The entire hospital staff has had the Patient Support training (including autism training) to help make their site an open, friendly environment. 

They are connected with the Autism Spectrum Center as well as the other BCH locations and the same physicians travel back and forth from Boston to Peabody so they could be seen at both sites. 

 

Boston Children’s at Peabody accept most insurance and the staff at the front desk can assist with insurance questions.  About the only insurance they do not contract with is BMC but the family can call MassHealth to switch their coverage anytime to either a MCO or PCC plan. The cut-off age is 21 years old but there exceptions.  They currently service autistic patients in their thirties and is determined on an individual basis.
