Preparing for Your Child's Visit

On the day of surgery, you should arrive at the YNHCH one hour before the procedure (directions). Valet parking is available for pediatric outpatient surgery patients and is free on the day of surgery only. There is a charge at other times. Families bringing children for inpatient surgery may also use valet parking, but there is a fee. The Pediatric Surgery Center is located on the third floor of the Children's Hospital.
