Child Counseling
Going to the hospital can be a scary experience for children. That’s why Wellmont provides counseling to help kids cope with any anxiety they may have during their visit with us. Through play, our child life specialists teach children about what will be happening to them—because when children understand what’s happening, they’re less likely to be afraid.
Child Development Center
Child counselors also work with children through the Child Development Center at Bristol Regional Medical Center. At this unique daycare and after-school learning center, we address children’s physical, emotional, cognitive and social development needs. Although we originally founded the center to serve the children of Wellmont employees, we do offer space (on a limited basis) to other children in the community.
Community Partners
To further serve children’s developmental needs, we partner with community organizations that include the YMCA, YWCA and the Boys & Girls Club.
If you have questions, please call the Wellmont Nurse Connection at 1-877-230-NURSE.
