Comfortable Chair
Every patient's room features either a glider, rocker, or sleeper chair that provides added comfort for patients and families. These chairs give mom and dad a seat close to their child, give friends a great seat from which to enjoy a movie, and even an extra spot for a family member to sleep. Each chair adjusts easily to provide maximum comfort.

Pullout Bed
The pullout bed provides lounging and seating space when folded up, but more importantly allows parents to remain by their child's side any and every night. Because children heal faster with family support Children's Hospitals of Minnesota welcomes and encourages parents to remain with their child during his or her time of care and healing. And who better to calm a child in the night than Mom or Dad?

In-Room Refrigerator
While Children's offers a healthy variety of food in its cafeteria, many families use their personal refrigerator to accommodate their preferred diets. Enjoying home-cooked food is not only a source of great comfort, but also a necessity for many of the cultures in the communities that Children's serves.

Connectivity
Available from either the Geek Squad precinct (Minneapolis) or the Family Resource Center (St. Paul), laptop computers allow patients and families to safely browse the web in their room. This allows patients to remain connected to other family members and friends, and allow parents to remain engaged with employers, and tend to other daily responsibilities online. Geek Squad agents are available (Minneapolis) to help patients and families solve their technology problems should any arise during their stay.

Flatscreen TV
The wall-mounted 42" LCD television serves as the central hub of information, entertainment, communication, and even escape for families and patients. On this screen, patients and families can watch video on demand or play their favorite video games. They can keep up with their favorite TV shows, watch DVDs, and learn about special events, hospital visitors, and services available during their stay. Special interactive menus even provide patients and families with convenient medical education and eventually will provide the ability to order the patient's meals from Nutritional Services.
*To ensure our neonatal patients rest peacefully, Children's made a decision not to include televisions in the NICU rooms.

Privacy Curtain
The privacy curtain provides a little separation for patients, families, and caregivers because sometimes a little privacy can provide a lot of comfort. When drawn, the curtain conceals the pullout bed and can even help muffle any noise in the room.
