Patients & Visitors
At Lutheran Children's Hospital, we believe that caring for patients encompasses much more than the care received during a hospital visit or stay. This page includes information that can help you make informed healthcare decisions, including insurance assistance, and help ensure you have an overall positive experience. In addition, you are encouraged to browse the calendar of events and check out the career opportunities throughout the Lutheran Health Network and volunteer opportunities at Lutheran Children's Hospital. We hope you find these general information tools and resources helpful.

Parental Consent
If you're traveling and have to leave your children in the care of someone else, be sure they're protected. Always leave written authorization so your children can receive medical treatment, if needed.
Simply download the form below, fill it out, and leave it with your children's caregiver. An authorized form is valid for one year following the signature date unless the form has been withdrawn with written consent.
