Accommodations for Parents

Most children admitted to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC are in single rooms with beds assigned based on a child’s age and diagnosis. In acute care rooms, a sleeping surface is available, enabling two parents to stay with their child overnight. In critical care units, one parent may stay overnight. Please do not use any vacant hospital beds.

Overnight Accommodations

Parents may call the Hospitality Department at 412-692-7240 for help in locating overnight accommodations outside the hospital at the Ronald McDonald House or Family House. Ronald McDonald House (which will relocate to our Lawrenceville campus in the fall of 2009) and four Family Houses are located within 2 ½ miles of the hospital and provide regularly scheduled shuttle service.
