New Hospital Security Screening: A new weapons detection system is being used at our main hospital. ALL visitors to our hospital will be screened for weapons. Please note: CHKD is NOT confiscating weapons. During the screening process, all visitors will be given the opportunity to return identified weapons to their vehicles.
CHKD is working hard to build a Mental Health Program with care access opportunities for all children in need. We currently have a high volume of requests and partner with mental health agencies outside of CHKD to ensure all children referred receive an appropriate treatment resource. Find inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization referral information here.
If you are concerned about your child's mental health, the best place to start is with your child's primary care pediatrician. Many of CHKD's pediatricians have completed advanced training in the management of disorders such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
