When we opened our doors in 2013, we made a promise to the 29 counties we serve across eastern North Carolina — to ensure the best possible future for our children. Child-focused, family-centered care for our youngest patients is how we deliver on that promise.
Every inch of our 78,000-square-foot facility was designed with children’s needs in mind. Beyond the shape of the building itself and the ocean theme throughout, the following features are just a few of the innovative ways we help reduce children’s anxieties and keep families close together:
Diversion rooms to relax and calm children during certain procedures
Play spaces for younger patients to socialize with friends, siblings and other patients; teen lounge for 11 and older
Play therapy island, an outdoor healing environment
Video games in room via hospital laptops with age-appropriate games
Seascape theater for events that you can attend or stream to your room
We’ve tried to think of everything to make you and your loved ones as comfortable as possible while you’re in our care.
Ready for anything
The pediatricians, pediatric specialists, surgeons and residents at Maynard Children's Hospital are dedicated to providing outstanding health care to the children we serve—from the tiniest premature infant to the injured high school student. Our clinical team also includes nurse practitioners, nurses, therapists and child life specialists. Some of the specialized programs, services and units we offer include the following:
General Pediatrics (2 West)
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
Special Care Nursery
Kids Immunosuppressed Specialty Unit (KISU)
Pediatric Day Medical Ambulatory Unit (PDAY)
Children’s Emergency Department
Pediatric Rehabilitation Program
Whether you’re here for a short visit or a longer stay, we want to help ease the stress and complexity of having a hospitalized child.
Here for the whole family
Right on the first floor, siblings and friends can enjoy the swings, climbing structures and basketball court in the play therapy yard. Families can also relax, do laundry and shower at the Ronald McDonald House six-room retreat. Our Family Resource Center is ready to answer any questions you might have, and we’re always happy to tell you about the many ongoing services we offer outside the hospital, too, such as camps for kids, an injury prevention program, a school nurse program and more.
Our pledge to you
At Maynard Children’s Hospital, you and your loved ones are an important part of our medical team—which means parents, grandparents, caregivers and friends are encouraged to play an active role in your child’s healing process. You’re welcome here anytime. And from the moment you come through our doors, we pledge to honor your privacy, listen to your questions and explain our care. Learn more.
