How to Choose Your Child’s Health Care Provider

Choosing a provider for your child is an important part of preparing for a new baby or moving to a new city. There are many things to consider, including training, experience, office location, hours and routines.

Finding a provider is not hard, but you need to start as soon as possible. You can ask your current health care provider for names, and talk with other parents about their provider. Many health care providers offer a special time for parents to come and visit the office, learn about the providers and staff, and ask questions. There may or may not be a charge for this visit. 

Read on for a list of questions to ask before choosing your child’s health care provider.

Helping Kids Get Through Illness & Injury

Hannah, a young patient with cancer, couldn’t do the things she wanted to do while recovering from treatment. The Sanford Children’s child life specialists in Fargo made that time bearable for Hannah.

Child life specialists focus on easing your child's fears and helping them cope through age-specific play, preparation and therapeutic activities. We also are here to provide emotional and educational support to parents and siblings. Through a variety of programs, activities and support groups, we make sure that your child feels empowered and supported at our children's hospitals.
